On Saturday I cooked the best pot of beans ever!! And they were the large dark kidney beans which I actually hate… until now.
One package of smoked turkey necks, rinsed
Half onion, chopped
3 cloves smashed garlic
Bell pepper, chopped
Quarter cup oil
One quarter teaspoon baking soda
8 cups water
Lawry’s seasoning salt to taste
Black pepper
Boil all of above for about an hour or so.
in meantime, soak a whole package of the kidney beans in hot water while necks are boiling. Then remove water, rinse beans, then add to pot of beans. To make beans have rhicker broth, make a dark roux and add to pot. I usually save pan dripping from fried chicken for this step. You can also adjust seasoning and water at this time.
