Time 3h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/4 cups small white or cannellini beans, picked over and soaked overnight
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cups chicken stock
4 ounces salt pork, in one piece
2 large unsmoked pork hocks
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 small red onion, very finely diced
1/2 small bunch flat-leafed parsley, leaves only, coarsely chopped
2 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Drain the soaked beans in a colander and rinse them with cold running water. In a medium heavy casserole, combine the mustard, vinegar, ginger, brown sugar, onion and chicken stock. Whisk together until evenly blended and add the beans.
  • Trim any tough outer skin from the salt pork and pork hocks and add them to the casserole, placing the bacon in the center and 1 hock on either side. Bake in the warm oven for 3 hours, or until the beans have absorbed most of the liquid and the remaining sauce is thick. Stir occasionally to keep the beans evenly moistened, and add up to 1 cup water if necessary to keep the beans from scorching. About 1 hour before the beans will be done, combine all the ingredients for the garnish in a small glass bowl and toss together well. Pull the meat off the bones, cut the bacon into chunks and serve each bowl garnished with a spoonful of the vegetable salsa.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.
