DRIED BEANS N SMOKED TURKEY WINGS

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound dried beans, Lima, Pinto, Navy (your choice)

2 smoked turkey wings

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic (chopped fine)

1 small pod Red Pepper or red pepper flakes (1/4 tsp.)

1 or 2 small ribs of celery, chopped fine (I like it better without the celery) Mickey Porter that is!

1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke

1 tablespoon EVOO, (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

1 tablespoon white sugar or Splenda equivalent

Salt to taste, substitute Mrs. Dash or low sodium salt

Black Pepper to taste (fresh cracked pepper)

1 Beef bouillon cube

2 bay leaves

Cover beans with water in 8 quart sauce pot and soak overnight.  The next morning, pour off water and cover them again with water adding all ingredients except the salt.  Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer allow cooking about 4 hours or until the beans create their own gravy.  When almost finished cooking add salt to taste.  Before severing, remove the bay leaves.

NOTES:  It doesn’t take much salt when using the beef bouillon cube and the smoked turkey wings!
