To prepare pinto beans with smoked pork hocks in less than an hour I suggest using an [easyazon_link keywords="Instant Pot" locale="US" tag="ftd-20"]Instant Pot[/easyazon_link] Buetooth Programmable Smartcooker.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups dry pinto beans
  • 4 cups chicken stock/broth
  • chopped celery (3 to 4 stalks)
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 2 to 3 smoked pork hocks
  • 1 can Italian stewed tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions:

  • In a large pot cover the beans with at least 2 inches of water
  • Bring the beans to a boil for 3 minutes
  • Cover the beans and set aside for 2 to 5 hours
  • Drain and rinse the beans
  • Combine all ingredients in the Instant Pot
  • Select the 'Manual' mode for 50 minutes
  • When complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes before quickly releasing the remaining pressure
  • Remove pork hocks and discard (I use the hocks for flavor only)

Serve pinto beans and liquid over steamed rice
