Ham And Black Bean Toss With Cilantro Recipes

BLACK BEANS AND HAM

Steps:

• Heat oil in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion and bell pepper in oil, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in beans, ham and 1 teaspoon of the chili powder. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low.
• Stir Bisquick mix, cornmeal and milk and remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Drop by 6 spoonfuls onto simmering bean mixture.
• Cook uncovered 10 minutes. Cover and cook 8 minutes longer. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook about 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

BLACK BEAN SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven set over medium-low heat, saute the onion, bell peppers, and jalapeno in the olive oil until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
• Add the chopped ham (or if using a ham hock add it in now), black beans, tomatoes/chiles, chicken broth, cumin, coriander, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, lime juice, bay leaves and cilantro.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for just a little over 1 hour (or more if you have time) or until the beans are tender. Remove the bay leaves (and ham hock if used). Use an immersion blender or place a few cups of soup into a blender (this will give you a bit of a thicker stock, but is optional). Serve and garnish as desired.
