Ingredients
- 1 pound dried black beans
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 onions, roughly chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
- 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 smoked ham hock
- 1 jalapeno, split
- 1 3/4 quarts low-sodium chicken stock
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Crema:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Directions
- Pick through the beans and discard any debris - wash under cold running water. In a food processor, add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. Set a large pot over medium heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Add the oregano and cumin. Add vegetable puree and sauté until just fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Add beans, ham hock, jalapeno, and stock. Slightly cover and simmer for 2 hours until beans are tender.
- When cooked, remove bay leaves and take out ham hock. Cut ham meat off the bone, cut into pieces and set aside. Using a blender or immersion blender, puree just enough of the beans and stock (about a third of the total pot) to thicken up the soup and bring everything together. Season with salt and pepper and fold ham meat back into the soup. Make the crema by combining sour cream and zest. Serve each soup with a spoonful of lime crema, a squeeze of lime and some fresh cilantro.
