How to Cook Pinto Beans with Ham Hock 👨‍🍳🍛🍲🍖

[@MrsJosie1970]

My dad always had this on the stove with white rice every day as a after school snack

[@ParnellTheChef]

Oh, wow! What a nice thing to come home to after school. I'm sure it was delicious! 🍛🍲

[@jim9520]

Great video. I am definitely going to make this. Thank you.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thanks, Jim! Let me know how your beans turn out. Happy New Year! 👍😀

[@bitesintime]

The pinto beans cooked perfectly. I like that you added the meat from ham hock. Looks so soulful and delicious 👍

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thank you! Beans and ham are definitely a match made in heaven 👨‍🍳🍛🍲🍖

[@WineDinewithJeff]

What a delicious ham hock and pinto beans. Great idea if soaking the pinto beans to soften them up and take out a lot of their gases. Love the homemade vegetable broth with the Bayleaf that you boiled the ham hock in. The ham hock really brings loads of smoky flavors. With some rice and cornbread this is definitely a meal comforting and delicious. .

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Jeff! This pot of pinto beans and ham hocks was definitely great. The homemade vegetable broth, along with the secret ingredient of bay leaf, was a great base. The smokiness of the ham is what really put these bens over the top. Let me know if you give this a try 👨‍🍳🍛🍲🍖

[@Uprightfossil]

You have a nice way of explaining. And I’m glad your music was low

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@NeutronRob]

Great recipe! I put in a couple of diced jalapenos with the onions during the cook which give a bit of a kick but not too over powering.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thanks, Rob! I think that a couple of jalapenos would be a nice touch--thanks for the idea. Have a great rest of your weekend!👍😀

[@rickyt11]

When time gets hard. Break out the Pinto Beans. 🤣

[@ParnellTheChef]

Haha very true 🤣

[@Henry-bq5vd]

Pinto Beans with the ham hocks done right served with the corn 🌽 bread on the side. Delicious 👌🏽

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Henry! Thank you very much for the kind words. This was absolutely delicious, that's for sure 👍😀

[@jesuslover3722]

Hi...I made your beans but had to put them in the crockpot. I added cumin and paprika and they turned out AMAZING! I'm not sure if your recipe had chicken bouillon but I added that too. Thanks for your calm sweet demeanor and being a fan of southern food! I had never tried ham hocks before and I'm from the south. Lol

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi! I'm so glad you liked my recipe. I will have to try adding cumin and paprika next time--I think they would be good additions. I think chicken bouillon would be good, too. Actually, I find that chicken broth / stock is a good base when used with ham hock. I'm glad this recipe expanded your horizons, too! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a nice comment. Have a great weekend 👍😀

[@MsMisskiki13]

I really like how you pre boiled the ham hock before adding the beans, I do the same thing. Most people cook them at the same time, which works too, but if you pre soaked your beans, boiling the hock first will really allow for the beans to get done fast. Sometimes that hock meat be tough! So prepare for a longer boil just to get it tender. That’s cool when you simmering beans for hours but I be RET TO EAT FAST. Lol. Well done! When you added that cornbread to the plate I said, “GOODNESS!!” Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi! Thanks for the feedback about my recipe. Yes, ham hocks can be surprisingly tough, so giving them a head start helps imo. The cornbread was undoubtedly the perfect side for these pinto beans--nothing like southern style skillet cornbread! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍😀

I have a huge and thick hardbound cookbook on Southern cuisines and I haven't tried a single one recipe there. I am so glad that I have your channel to teach me on the spot how! That one is so delicious and comforting! Thank you so much for sharing this, Chef!

Hi, Jaii! Thank you so much for the kind words! My culinary repertoire is about to get even more diverse: I have more Southern recipes coming soon, some of which are my own experiment...and I will be going back to Argentine food later this year as well...so get ready for steak, pasta, pizza, and empanadas, haha!

I love pinto beans and ham hocks with rice and cornbread. Howard loves eating the skin from the hocks hocks. Nothing goes to waste around our house, lol! Great video!

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Andrea! These beans with ham were definitely delicious--and like you said, cornbread or rice makes turns a bowl into a complete meal. I am sure he enjoys the ham hock sins! Thanks for watching 👍👍

My FAVORITE with Mexican Rice!! Thank You for sharing this recipe Papi!! 🙏❤️

I don't think I've ever had pinto beans with Mexican rice, so I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the idea! 👨‍🍳🍛🍲🍖

[@marieantoinettescake9513]

You're very welcome!! Enjoy!! 👍☺️

[@ZK-ef3hn]

This recipe looks delicious, my goodness! I've never added bay leaf before but will give it a try. I like the skin so I chop it up along with the meat. Thanks for the video.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thank you very much! Definitely try the bay leaf--it's a secret ingredient in a lot of things, I think. And if you like the skin, you can definitely chop it up and add it back in. Let me know what you think of the recipe! 👨‍🍳🍖🍲🥘

[@massagetech2982]

I don't like bay leaves in Southern bean recipes.... thank you for the recipe

[@SoCalRonnie]

This is how I make my beans. I use a large pot make a lot of beans and I cook my smoked ham hocks with the beans so the flavor is intensified with smoked ham hocks of course removing the skin and bone at the end. I also use a ham shank with some meat on it and cook it with beans as well. A trick I learned is to add an entire tomato whole it disintegrates it adds beautiful coloring and makes the flavor fresh. Wow you’re a good cook!

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Carlsbad! Glad to hear that we have similar recipes--great minds think alike! Oh wow, I like the idea of adding an entire whole tomato...I think that would definitely add a lot of flavor. Thanks for the suggestion! Have a great rest of your week! 👍😀🍅

[@carlosmacmartin4205]

Looks good! I think I’d like them served over steamed rice.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thanks, Carlos! Serving pinto beans over rice is another good option. So many ways to eat these. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😀👍

So far, the best looking pinto bean recipe on the Internet. These beans look so clean, healthy, tasty and full of flavor! I love what you did. I watch the video twice, butIm watching it again! THIS is how I would want my beans to be and I am going to follow this recipe-although I am adding onion and garlic for additional flavor! Good looking beans; can’t wait to enjoy them!!

Hey Chef , next time at the end ladle out a cup of those beans into the other pot and mash them up to mush then put them back into the other pot and stir em up . Makes the flavor of the beans better . Hey man you have a great day and nice talking to you again 😁👍👍🇺🇸

The pinto beans cooked perfectly . Great idea tfs

I cook ham and beans when I make a ham and made them today. I recommend getting fiesta pinto bean seasoning! It’s really good! Also, we like spicy, so I add in some jalapeño sausage that I cook in the oven, then slice it up and add it to the beans. Regular sausage is good as well!! Chapel hill is the best by far, but that’s only sold in Texas. Any sausage will work!! You have a good recipe there but I know you mentioned adding more spices so thought I’d share how I make mine. Take care!!

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Cheri! I will have to look for fiesta pinto bean seasoning, or maybe some type of spicy sausage. Thanks for the ideas on how to switch up this recipe, I appreciate it. Happy New Year! 👍😀🍲

I love southern style pinto beans. these look amazing chef. I would love to have a plate of that over some rice. Like 27 my friend. See you next time

1/12/23 I am cooking pinto beans with pig feet for the first time. Having Spanish rice and jiffy mix cornbread. I usually cooked any beans with smoke neckbones.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Wow, Spanish rice and cornbread would be great sides. If using pigs feet, I think the process would be the same as this recipe. I've never used smoked neckbones, but I'm sure they're good, too. I know you're about to have some delicious beans tonight 😀👍

I have that same pot. It was my grandmother's.

Hi, Margaret! The ham hock, as well as leftover ham shank meat, really made these beans delicious. Ham with mushy peas? I did not know that was a common combination. I will have to Google that Thanks for watching as always ! 👍👍

My family NEVER stirs the beans when they’re cooking! We also always keep them covered until the end.

My mom's first girlfriend's mom, Abuela Gonzales, would always have pinto beans and tortillas ready for me and mac'n'cheez for my sister if she knew we were going to visit. She loved having grandkids even if they weren't hers biologically. my mom's 2nd GF's mom, Mrs. Montoya, hated us, because it reminded her, her daughter was Gay.

I serve with a splash of vinegar, or better yet, the juice from peppers. and sometimes add about 1 tsp of ground mustard when cooking

[@ParnellTheChef]

I never soak my beans

[@ParnellTheChef]

Yep chef about half docters say garlic is one of the best things one can put in their body. The other half say one of the worst. No bug or bird not animal will touch it in your garden

Hi, RoxAnne! Wow, your own butchered hog...so fresh and delicious! No, the ham hocks do not need to be smoked. Using smoked hocks adds a unique flavor, that is all. Fresh hocks will add a different flavor, that is all. Your beans will still turn out delicious...just a different delicious. Let me know how it goes👍
