Hey guys! So to give credit where it's due, I got this idea from Smokin Aussie's hock & beans post a while back. It was a pretty cold windy night last night, relatively speaking. It was about 64˚:shock:, so I decided to make the ham hock & beans dish and serve it up over some white rice and boiled green bananas. Definitely hit the spot! It came out so awesome I figured some of you guys up north must be pretty cold by now so I'd thought I'd share the warmth.

I sauteed up some diced bell peppers, onions, carrots & garlic in butter and evoo. Then added diced tomato, tin kidney beans, shredded ham hocks & some pork stock and let simmer a bit before adding s&p to taste.

Ham hocks I had cured and smoked along with my Christmas hams:

All simmered down & hearty!

Yup Phu, they are boiled green bananas!! Cut the hand off the plant today! :thumb:
Cheers
 
Looks great! Enlighten me on the taste of boiled green bananas. Are they sweet or bitter and starchy like a plantain?
 
Just plain fine there! It's 37:shocked: here this morning and that does warm me up:thumb:
 
Very nice Bill! Wish you would send up a plate of that to your Northern Brethren!
 
Wow! That looks absolutely fantastic, Phrasty! great job!

BTW, i hope that you survived the cold snap! :becky:

Green fig is nothing like a plantain. Lots of green fig used in the Caribbean...along with plantain, but not similar to each other.

Ummm... We were talking about green bananas, not figs. Did you mean banana?
 
The food looks great but that picture of the hock is prolly the best pic I have ever seen on here did you do some kind of photoshop on it

No they are not sweet or bitter! The sweetness has not developed yet. They are not as "starchy" as a plantain. But it is like a starchy vegetable (like a ground provision) they go very well with stews and such. They are known in some places as "figs" which is thought to come from the thought that Adam & Eve used banana leaves instead of fig leaves to cover up their nekkidness. :shock:

Man that looks good. The beans almost look like they're in a curry sauce. Beautiful color!:thumb::thumb:
 
Nice work Phrasty! Glad you could put the recipe to good use!
