LOUISIANA WHITE BEANS - part 4 in my series, Dinners That Stretch. The series for anyone who doesn’t want to cook every day, and if I’m being honest, I don’t think you should have to 🤎 SHOPPING LIST 1 lb Great Northern beans 1 pack Smoked pork neck bones (or smoked turkey) ~ 2 lbs 1 large Bell pepper 3 celery stalks 1 large Onion minced Garlic (about 4 cloves) Seasonings: approximately; 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp onion powder, 2 tsp Cajun seasoning, 1.5 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp oregano 3-4 bay leaf 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 cups Chicken broth 3.5 cups water First, sort your beans and remove rocks and beans that don’t look right. Then rinse your beans and let them soak for a couple of hours if you have time. Then start dicing your onion, bell pepper, and celery. This is your trinity. set aside. Chop your sausage and brown it in your pot. Once it’s nicely browned, remove it and set it aside. Add your trinity to the same pot and sauté until softened. Toss in your minced garlic and cook until fragrant. The. Add your rinsed, soaked beans, browned sausage, and smoked pork neck bones. Pour in your water and chicken broth, then add your seasonings. Give everything a good stir. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the beans are tender and the meat is falling off the bone. Make sure you stir every 20–30 minutes so the beans don’t scorch on the bottom. Once the beans and meat are tender, remove the neck bones, pull the meat off, and add it right back into the pot. To get that creamy consistency, mash a few spoonfuls of beans against the side of the pot and stir them back in. Add a little more water if needed. I like plenty of pot liquor, so I always make sure there’s enough broth. A FEW TIPS - Make sure you rinse and sort through your beans before cooking. Soaking before helps with cook time. - You should add just enough liquid to cover your beans entirely. - Smoked turkey is a great alternative to pork neck bones. I usually use a smoked turkey leg. - Taste your broth before adding additional salt. Smoked meat can already add plenty of sodium. I usually don’t need to add salt, so I leave it to the end to decide. - For creamy beans, mash a few spoonfuls of the cooked beans against the side of the pot/spoon and stir them back in. - Stir your pot often to make sure your beans don’t scorch. I like plenty of pot liquor, so add a little extra water towards the end.
