white beans and rib greens
(2 ratings)
Holy smokes this turned out fantastic! I hate wasting those tough ribs from turnip greens, kale and etc. NEVER throw out your ribs again. They cook up quite nicely with beans and a smoked ham hock, salt pork or bacon ends. Coming from a family of Colorado pinto bean farmers, I love, love, love my beans and my mother makes sure I have a good supply here in Fairbanks, Alaska all year long. White beans just sounded right at the time. Beans and greens make a perfect marriage! I pressure cooked mine but there is no reason you can't open kettle your rib greens and beans.

How To Make white beans and rib greens
-
1These are the ingredients you will need. (Note: I only used 1/2 the bag of beans or 1 lb.) -
2Sort the beans. Despite what some people believe, packaged beans are still dirty and you should remove all debris.
-
3Wash beans thoroughly under cold water.
-
4Dice up the rib greens (this is the tough part of kale, collard and turnip greens we normally throw away.)
-
5Combine all ingredients into the pressure cooker or into a large dutch oven or soup pot. Add pepper.
-
6If pressure cooking, cook for 1 hour. If open kettle, cook until beans are at desired tenderness.
-
7I would suggest serving this up with a pan of cornbread. Let that cornbread soak up all those wonderful juices. If you want some added spice, you should sprinkle on a little Louisiana Hot Sauce.
