Indian Leather Britches Beans
From ladyarp 16 years ago
- 180 minutes to make
- Serves 12
This recipe came from my husbands grand mother. Great for stews or by their self.
Ingredients
- Young tender green beans (at least 3 pounds) shopping list
- 1/4 pound slab of pork shopping list
How to make it
- Snap tips of green beans off.
- Tie a knot on the end of a heavy sting, thread green beans with a heavy gauge needle (like long strings of beads).
- Hang beans indoors in a sunny dry place until thoroughly dry. This may take up to two months. (check on beans periodically for fungus or mold; remove any bad beans from string).
- When dry store in a container until ready to use.
- To use beans: Wash beans and soak 2 cups dried beans in 2 cups of water for an hour.
- Add 1/4 lb. slab pork, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Stir, simmer for about 3 hours or until beans are tender. Add water as needed to keep beans from burning.
