Green Beans and Ham
I remember having this meal a lot in the summer. We grew the green beans in the garden and had the ham hock in the freezer, from the holiday meal in the winter. This green bean and ham recipe is a great example of down home cooking This dish is so tasty and reminds me of Mom and home.
Ham hock (1-2 pounds)
5 Potatoes peeled and diced (large chunks)
1 quart of fresh green beans (ends removed and snapped)
If ham hock is not already cooked, place in stock pot, add water about 2 inches and cook on low heat covered for about 90 minutes.
Add potatoes and green beans and cook for another hour or so. You want the meat tender and the potatoes soft.
This meal is perfect when served with a warm homemade bread.
