Yields 6 servings

Ingredients:
1 Pound beans, red, dried washed and picked over
1 Large onion, yellow chopped
1 Large bell pepper, green or red, chopped
5 Each celery stalk chopped
6 Cloves garlic, fresh minced
3/4 Pounds ham hock, smoked meat diced off bone plus bone
1 Teaspoon thyme, dried rounded
6 Each bay leaves 
2 Teaspoons tabasco 
1 1/2 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce 
1/4 Cup Silver Service Chef Southwestern Seasoning 
1/2 Teaspoon salt, Kosher 
1 Teaspoon pepper, black, ground 
3/4 Pounds sausage, kielbasa sliced on the bias

Directions: 
Cover beans in cold water and soak overnight. The next day, drain and put fresh water in the pot. (This helps reduce the amount of gas in the beans). Bring the beans to a boil. Make sure the beans are always covered by water, or they will discolor and turn hard. Boil the beans for about 45 to 60 minutes, until the beans are tender but not falling apart. 

While the beans are boiling, sauté the onions, celery and bell pepper until the onions turn translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally. After the beans are boiled and drained, add the sautéed vegetables to the beans, then add the ham meat and bones, sausage, seasonings and just enough water to cover. 

Chef's Note: If you are par-boiling fresh sausage, use the "stock" remaining instead of water. 

Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for at least 3 hours, until the whole thing gets nice and creamy. Adjust seasonings as you go along. Stir occasionally, making sure that it doesn't burn and/or stick to the bottom of the pot.

Serve over white rice and with cornbread on the side.

Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

Lemon-Blueberry Muffins
From America's Test Kitchen
Yields 2 dozen

Ingredients:
Lemon-Sugar Topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1 large lemon, zested

Muffins:
2 cups fresh blueberries, picked over
1 1/8 cups sugar, plus 1 tsp
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp table salt
2 large eggs
4 Tbls unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk(see note)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

FOR THE TOPPING: Stir together sugar and lemon zest in small bowl until combined; set aside.

FOR THE MUFFINS: Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Bring 1 cup blueberries and 1 teaspoon sugar to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, mashing berries with spoon several times and stirring frequently, until berries have broken down and mixture is thickened and reduced to ¼ cup, about 6 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in large bowl. Whisk remaining 1 1/8 cups sugar and eggs together in medium bowl until thick and homogeneous, about 45 seconds. Slowly whisk in butter and oil until combined. Whisk in buttermilk and vanilla until combined. Using rubber spatula, fold egg mixture and remaining cup blueberries into flour mixture until just moistened. (Batter will be very lumpy with few spots of dry flour; do not overmix.)

Use ice cream scoop to divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups (batter should completely fill cups and mound slightly). Spoon teaspoon of cooked berry mixture into center of each mound of batter. Using chopstick or skewer, gently swirl berry filling into batter using figure-eight motion. Sprinkle lemon sugar evenly over muffins.

Bake until muffin tops are golden and just firm, 17 to 19 minutes, rotating muffin tin from front to back halfway through baking time. Cool muffins in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool 5 minutes before serving.
