Who had the nerve to try the Channa Masala???

Ok, here's a tried and true, but I am thinking maybe some of the young people here might not know how to make it yet. It doesn't get simpler (or better!) than this.

WEEK 3


PINTO BEAN AND HAM HOCKS

4 Cans Pinto Beans
2-3 large Ham Hocks
1 yellow onion – diced & sautéed
1 t black pepper
1/4 cup white wine (i like this but you can leave it out if need be)

Just put it all in a pot cover with water and simmer all day. A crock pot works great for this. Right before serving pull the skin off of the hocks and discard along with bones. Then "mash" the meat so it seperates into threads. Don't add salt to this!
Serve with Corn Bread and cold milk.

never cared for Dr. Oz. but I watched his show last week, he was talking about heart problems and since I have had 3 heart surgerys and DH wears a defib, I watched. And would you believe he said dry lima beans was one of the best things you could eat for heart health.So if dry limas are that good guess all the beans are, so your receipes have come at just the right time
