I found this off of a copycat recipe site. I have been searching for recipes to mirror Popeye's Chicken Restaurant.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 (16 ounce) cans red beans (2 cans with liquid, 1 can drained)
1/2-3/4 lb smoked ham hock
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
5 tablespoons lard
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 -5 cups long grain rice, cooked and drained

Steps:

  • Pour 2 cans of beans with their liquid into a 2-quart saucepan.
  • Add smoked ham hock and water.
  • Simmer over medium heat for 1 hour until the meat starts to loosen from the bone.
  • Remove from heat and cool until the hock is cool enough so the meat may be removed from the bone.
  • Place the meat, beans and liquid in a food processor.
  • To the mixture add onion powder, garlic salt, red pepper, salt, and lard.
  • Process for only 4 seconds.
  • Beans should be chopped and liquid thick.
  • Add the third can of beans that have been drained of their liquid.
  • Process just for a second or two; you want these beans to remain almost whole.
  • Pour bean mixture back into to pan and cook slowly on low heat stirring often until ready to serve.
  • Serve over rice.
