3. *** if using salt pork cut into chunks and boil for about 20 min... just to make a broth.
4. *** if using ham I use bouillon cubes to make broth or low sodium carton broth. lat the ham chunks on green beans.....in place of laying on the hamhocks.
5. while hamhocks are cooking I put green beans in a colander and run lukewarm water over them... for 1-2 minutes.... then leave it sit until hamhocks get done.....
6. put baking drippings in heavy bottom pan (I've used veggie oil before).... set on med and then add the remaining onion and garlic... skillet only needs to be warm when adding onion and garlic... turn skillet up to med/high and when hot add green beans after 3-4 minutes and 'fry'. make sure they all get oil on them..-.
7. **** ONCE HAMHOCKS ARE DONE COOKING.... QUICK RELEASE THE PRESSURE IN YOUR PRESSURE COOKER..
