Ingredients

1 pound dried white beans (Great Northern)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
4 cups water
Sea salt
4 1/4-inch thick slices of cured ham

Steps:

1. Place the beans in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Cover pot, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat and let sit for 1 hour. Drain and reserve.
2. Place the shallots and 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the butter is melted and the shallots have begun to sizzle. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the shallots begin to turn translucent, about five minutes. Add the pre-cooked beans, stir, then cover with the water. Increase the heat to medium high. When the water boils, reduce the heat again so the water is simmering very gently. Cover, and cook until the beans are soft and some are beginning to fall apart, 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt to taste, and keep warm.
3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add the ham slices and cook until they are golden on each side, about 4 minutes per side.
4. Stir the remaining butter into the beans, adjust the seasoning, and divide them among four plates. Lay a slice of ham next to the beans, and serve, with the peppermill alongside.

WHITE BEANS AND HAM

White Beans and Ham image

When cooking white beans (Great Northern Beans), I have found it is not necessary to soak the dried beans the night before if you cook them in a crockpot or slow cooker. (If you still want to soak them, put them in a pot of very hot water for about an hour, cover with pot lid, drain, then cook them in the crockpot or slow...

Ingredients

1 lb white or great northern beans
1 Tbsp bacon drippings
1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
leftover baked ham carcass
salt/black pepper to your taste

Steps:

1. Rinse and drain white beans, removing any "rocks" or dried up looking beans. Put beans in a crockpot, add water, covering beans. Add bacon drippings, red pepper flakes and ham carcass (or cut up a ham steak into small pieces.) Cook on high until all are good and hot, about 2 hours. Turn temperature to low and continue to cook until beans are tender, about 4-5 hour, depending on crockpot or slow cooker. Remove ham and let cool. Trim ham from bone and fat and cut into bite-sized pieces. Return ham pieces to white beans. Any leftover beans are good to make white chili. Be careful adding more salt as your ham is going to be salty. **If you don't have any ham, add a small piece of fat back or salt pork to the beans while cooking.
