Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 smoked ham hock (or smoked pork chop 6 oz.)

- 1 large minced white onion
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 3/4 bunch of parsley finely chopped (no stems)
- kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Steps
-
Soak bean over night. Discard water.

In a pressure cooker combine soaked beans, ham hock and bay leaves and add enough water to cover beans at least 3 inches, about 6 cups.

Bring to a boil, then cover and lock the lid. Cook 45 minutes in a pressure cooker on medium-low heat.

After 45 minutes shut heat off and wait for the pressure to come out of the pot before removing the lid.

Meanwhile, in a large saute pan add oil; saute onion, garlic, and parsley on a medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook until onions are translucent, about 10-15 minutes.

Add onion mixture to the beans and cook uncovered 20-30 more minutes, or until beans have a thick consistency.
