Recipe Instructions

* Dried pinto beans can be used, but the recipe will lose its authenticity.

** Use about 1-2 pounds of meaty ham hocks.

Pick over beans, wash thoroughly and drain. Place in very large casserole. Cover with the water, add garlic, cumin, onion, salt, pepper and ham hocks. Cover tightly and bake at 275for about 10 hours, or until beans are tender. Check and stir a few times, keeping beans from drying out. Skim off fat before serving. Season to taste.

This dish takes about 10 hours to prepare, so plan ahead.
