Cómo preparar Best Damn Borracho Beans Period
- Soak 1 pound of dried pinto beans in 8-10 cups of water overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- Drain and rinse the soaked beans.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the drained beans with 8 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the beans begin to soften.
- While the beans simmer, prepare the ham hocks: Trim excess fat from 2 (about 1 pound) ham hocks, reserving the fat. Cut the meat into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Add the chopped ham hock meat to the pot with the simmering beans.
- Chop 1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 green bell pepper, and 1 red bell pepper into small pieces.
- Add the chopped vegetables, reserved ham hock fat (about 1/2 cup), 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon salt to the pot.
- Stir well to combine and continue to simmer for at least 2 1/2 hours, or until the beans are incredibly tender and the flavors have melded beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the ham hocks and discard bones. Shred the remaining meat and return it to the pot.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.
- Remove any excess fat from the surface before serving.
