How do you season your beans/peas?

The bone left over from a big arse honey baked ham, with what meat remains on it...

Depends on the bean....but

Salt
White Pepper
Some sort of Pork

For pinto beans....borracho beans....tomato, bacon, cilantro, onion, garlic, can of beer.

I made some flash frozen pinto beans a few nights ago. This is first time I've cooked those. I used bacon, onions, garlic and jalapeno. The seasoning was Bodacious BBQ Pinto Bean Seasoning which is really good. It can be ordered online if you're a big pinto bean fan.

For other beans, I use ham, ham bone and or bacon with onions, garlic, sometimes, and S&P. I don't like to put too many flavors in those because I really like the flavor of the fresh beans. Usually, I'm cooking purple hull (add some jalapeno, sometimes, to those), lady cream peas, baby limes, speckled butter beans or other summer beans that I keep in the freezer.

I'm going to try the smoked turkey, though, soon. I've never done that and it sounds very good.

Forgot to add that I usually use chicken stock rather than water.

Very smoked.


Thanks for all the suggestions. I can now tell what things are common and what aren't. Just now getting to be a big bean fan.

Many folks have suggested using smoked turkey in peas/beans. I don't think plain old turkey would do anything.

Good sleep inducing agent is about the only thing. Turkey, it is whats for T'day, and a pot of gumbo for the next day.

Actually, I despise chicken unless it's covered in a sauce, fried or maybe smoked and I still don't like it all that much.

I like turkey very much. It actually has flavor to me. I like it roasted, smoked or fried. Thanksgiving dinner is one of my all time favorite meals.
