This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The beans are incredibly flavorful and the sauce is rich and savory. I like to make a big batch and freeze it for later.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the ham hock. It was still delicious! The beans were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I served it over rice with a side of avocado and salsa.
