Yield 10 to 12 6-ounce portions

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dried black (turtle) beans
3 tablespoons pure olive oil
1/2 pound smoked ham hock or other smoked pork
3 medium white onions, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 large sweet red peppers, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped

4 quarts cold water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Add the onions, peppers, celery, chili, and cumin, and cook over medium heat until the vegetables wilt.
