  • 1 Ham Hock

Instructions
 

  • Soak your beans. Place beans in a large pot and cover with cold water, place lid on pot and set aside for 8 to 15 hrs. Check once in a while as beans will soak up a lot of water. Add more water if necessary.
  • Pour beans into strainer and rinse well and set aside.
  • Using the large pot you soaked the beans in, rinse it well. Heat pot up on medium to med high. Throw chopped bacon in and fry.
  • When bacon is just about done, toss in onion and garlic fry until onion is clear.
  • Throw in chopped up ham and fry a few minutes more.
  • Toss in Olive oil and all the spices and stir well.
  • Pour in tomatoes and the broth and stir well.
  • Add the ham hock.
  • Now pour all the beans back into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the temp to a low simmer. Cover and let simmer for 5 to 8 hrs. Remember to check once in a while and top up with water when needed.
  • If you're doing this late in the day you can simmer until bed time, turn off the heat and leave covered over night. In the morning turn back on to simmer until dinner.
