Navy Bean Gravy Recipes

NAVY BEAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the thyme and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes more.
• While this cooks, mix the flour into the broth thoroughly. Pour this into a blender with the beans and soy sauce and blend until smooth.
• Add the onion and garlic mixture to the blender and blend until the onion no longer has any big chunks visible.
• Once smooth, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Reduce heat to low.
• Make the gravy thinner, if you like, by adding water and stirring until evenly mixed. Add salt to taste.

• Use a small piece of kitchen twine to tie parsley and thyme sprigs and bay leaf into a small bundle. Place soaked beans, herb bundle, ham hocks, carrot, onion, and garlic into a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Pour 8 cups cold water over ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until beans and ham hocks are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Turn off heat; remove ham hocks and let cool. When they are cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bones, discarding the bones, fat, and skin. Chop ham into small cubes. Remove and discard herb bundle.
• Transfer about 3 cups cooked beans along with some cooking liquid into a blender; puree beans. Pour pureed beans back into soup, add cooked ham, and bring back to a simmer over medium heat. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
