Beans and Cornbread the Brazilian way =;)
Well I had some Carioca beans from Brazil that I needed to use so I cooked them with some amazing ham hock! That thing was huge, I got it a t a German Deli, they make their own sausages, ham and all kinds of stuff so, so good! Anyway I cooked the beans in the crock pot and seasoned with sautéed onions and garlic, I didn’t have any cayenne pepper so I used smoked Hungarian paprika (it has a nice kick but not too spicy) and it was delish. I also had some of the Brazilian corn “cake” mix that I needed to use so our meal was very, very tasty and we had some rice with the leftover beans the next day . The corn bread was gone. I don’t like American corn bread it’s a bit to dry, I think I have to give this recipe a try. Overall a good easy meal but not something I would serve to my family on the regular basis since I always go for the rice anytime we have beans.

Wow, that IS a huge ham hock - plenty for flavor! Your beans and cornbread look very good. Is Hungarian Paprika like Spanish Paprika?
Yes it is but most people use the sweet paprika.
Your beans & cornbread sounded very tasty. I didn't cook the cornbread recipe for us as my family only wants the Jiffy mix brand. It's pretty good :). You can't beat a good ham bone for flavor.
Yes, Jiffy comes through every time with good cornbread!
