Louis Armstrong’s Ham Hocks and Red Beans

 

Serves 6.

1 pound dried red beans water
1 pound ham hock
1 bay leaf
1 pod red pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
1 onion, diced
1 pod garlic, minced

Wash beans and soak two to three hours or overnight if preferred.

When ready to cook, drain off water and put beans in large pot with two quarts cold water. Let water heat thoroughly, then add ham hocks, herbs, onion and garlic. Cook slowly but steadily at least two hours or until tender enough to mash easily.

When done, place in a dish and lay ham hocks on top. May be served with rice.

I propose serving it for your Super Bowl gathering, or barring that, then for the “Big Game.” Doesn’t it look good?

Пиле с бира

от Ани Цонева

1 пиле
2-3сл масло
1/2 бира - 500мл
3-4 картофа
Приготвяне
Пилето се измива и подсушава. Намазва се с масло и се посолява.
Слага се в намазана с масло тава, полива се с бирата и се покрива с фолио.
Пече се на 220С за 40 мин и се обръща. Пече се още 30мин и се маха фолиото. Допича за още 20мин за да добие коричка.

Съвети

Като видиш, че са му се оголили кокалите, значи се е опекло, и като го боцнеш с вилица, ако се вади месце-значи се е опекло
Ако го печеш комбинирано с картофи-картофите, малко осолени се слагат около пилето поне половин час преди пилето да се е опекло.Тогава, заедно с картофите, слагаш още и 1/2чч вода и олио.
