Ingredients
- 1 pound dried red kidney beans
- 8 ounces bacon, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 pounds ham hocks or 1 large ham bone
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 cups chicken stock or water, plus more if needed
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
- Kosher salt
- Chopped scallions, for garnish
- Cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- Soak the kidney beans in a large pot with enough water to cover (about 8 cups) for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse the beans; set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until rendered and crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Add the celery, onions and bell peppers and cook until softened slightly, 8 minutes. Add the beans, ham hocks, bay leaves, thyme, black pepper and cayenne. Add the stock, making sure the beans and vegetables are covered by about 2 inches of liquid; add more stock or water if needed. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan, until the beans are tender and creamy in texture, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Add additional stock or water as needed to keep the beans submerged in the liquid.
- Remove the ham hocks, bay leaves and thyme stems. Remove the meat from the ham hocks and shred into a bowl; set aside. Crush the beans with a potato masher, leaving the mixture chunky with some whole beans. Stir in the reserved bacon and shredded meat. Add the hot sauce and salt to taste.
- To serve, garnish with scallions and serve with white rice.
