Ham Hock Green Beans

The family loved these! My 3 year old even had 2 servings! 

Ham Hock Green Beans:

1.5 lbs fresh green beans trimmed and rinsed

1 ham hock 

1 clove garlic mashed 

1/2 cup Olive oil 

1 box chicken broth 

Salt & Pepper to taste 

Put olive oil and garlic in pot heat up. Add ham hock and brown a bit on both sides. 

I had to remove my garlic cause I burned it a bit and it gets bitter when that happens but that's your call. The oil is already infused.

Add chicken stock. 

Add green beans. Cover the rest of the way with water. 

Cover and simmer for an hour. 

Let sit in warm water covered for 30 minutes, pull out hock and let cool. 

Pick hock and mix meat in beans.

Salt & Pepper to taste

Serve

Enjoy!
