步骤

1. 1

   准备

   准备好食材。

   For a quick soak, cover beans with boiling water for 1 hour, then drain and proceed.

2. 2

   库克

   用中火煮至熟。

   Skimming the foam produces a cleaner, clearer broth — skip it and the pot can turn cloudy and slightly bitter.

3. 3

   季节

   用盐和胡椒调味。

4. 4

   发球

   趁热食用。

   The ham hock is already salty; taste first and add salt conservatively.

5. 5

   Remove and shred the hock

   Lift the ham hock out of the pot and onto a cutting board. Allow it to cool 5 to 10 minutes, then pull all the meat from the bone — it will fall away easily. Discard the skin, cartilage, and bone. Chop or shred the meat roughly and return it to the pot.

6. 6

   Mash for creaminess

   Use the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher to crush roughly one-quarter of the beans against the side of the pot. This releases their starch and naturally thickens the pot likker into a creamy, gravy-like consistency without adding any flour or cornstarch.

7. 7

   Finish and serve

   Stir in the apple cider vinegar and simmer 5 more minutes. Remove the bay leaves, taste for salt and pepper, and ladle into bowls. Serve with cornbread, a side of collard greens, and hot sauce on the table.
