Servings: persons

1 pound small red beans
1/2 pound ham hocks or smoked ham
1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 tbsp. parsley
1 green pepper, chopped
3-4 bay leaves
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 stick butter
Pepper to taste
3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Tabasco
Salt to taste
3 cups cooked white rice

1
Soak the beans overnight in ample water. The next day, drain the water from the beans, and place in a heavy kettle. Add the ham, onion, celery, parsley, bay leaves, and garlic (don't add peppers yet!), and add water to the pot barely to cover the contents. Bring to a boil, and then turn to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours, being careful that the beans do not stick or become too dry. You may have to add a little water.
2
After the initial two hours of cooking, add the butter, pepper, Worcestershire, and Tobasco to the pot. Continue cooking for 1 more hour, this time with a lid on the pot and the heat quite low.
3
Correct the seasonings. You may wish to add a bit of salt, but do not add salt until this point because salt cooks out of the ham hocks (or ham) and seasons the dish well.
4
Serve over white rice with a nice green salad and a good white wine or beer.
