INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the beans and remove any foreign matter. Mix all ingredients in
the cooking vessel. IF USING A SLOW-COOKER: Cover, set temperature at
low, and forget for at least 10 hours. If you have only half a day,
cook the mixture 5 or more hours on high. IF USING A STOVE: Heat all
ingredients to boiling with pot uncovered. Turn down heat, cover, and
simmer gently, adding enough boiling water to keep beans well covered.
Most bean varieties will be done in 2 to 3 hours. When beans are
done, take out ham bone, cut off the meat and put it back into the
pot. Serve hot with corn bread or muffins. Green chili salsa is a
Mexican sauce made from green chili peppers, onions, vinegar and other
ingredients. NOTES A Hearty Bean Stew -- I got this recipe from "A
Primer on Bean Cookery" by the California Dry Bean Advisory Board and
other organizations. This savory stew, featuring ham and beans,
borrows its robust seasonings from the chuck wagon cooks of the old
western cattle ranges. The secret is long, slow cooking, and your
electric slow-cooker is ideal for the job. Just follow the directions
that come with your particular model. If you don't have one, slow-cook
the mixture on top of the stove in a heavy pot with a lid. :
