Ingredients

  • 1 ham bone with approximately 1 pound of ham still on the bone, or 1 pound of thick sliced ham
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 pound great northern beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • ½ pound carrots, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large stockpot over low heat place the ham bone, or sliced ham and cover with water. Simmer for 4-6 hours.  Add water if needed to keep the ham covered.
  2. In another large pot over medium-high heat place the salt, great northern beans.  Cover with water plus 3 inches above the beans.  When the water starts to simmer reduce to low and cook for 2-6 hours.

  5. In a large pan over medium heat add the olive oil, onion, and carrots.  Cook until the onion starts to be translucent, about 5-8 minutes.  Then add the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.  Remove from the heat. Add to the stock pot with the ham.  
  6. Add the pepper to the stock pot and reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
