Beans Cooked with Ham Hock

This stew can be made in a very short time and is better overnight. I make it in the evening to eat at work the next day, heat it for a couple of minutes in the microwave and it’s ready to go!

Ingredients

• 1 large jar of cooked white beans
• 1 spring onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 sausage
• A few slices of ham
• salt
• oil
• A few pieces of green paprika
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1 dried cayenne pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• Dried garlic

Steps

1. In a pot put olive oil and fry the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper until it is well poached.
2. Meanwhile, we take the beans out of the pot and pass them through cold water with the help of a strainer.
3. When the sauce is golden brown add the ham and the sausage cut in small pieces and also the sweet paprika, stir and then add the beans and 2 glasses of water, if it does not cover the beans you can add a little more water.
4. Add the cayenne pepper, the bay leaf, a pinch of salt, and the dried garlic. Let it reduce over medium heat until it starts to thicken and you start to see a lot of beans.
5. If you don’t want it to sting don’t add the cayenne pepper, if you want it to have a spicy touch halfway through cooking you can take it out.
