Ingredients

1 or 2 meaty smoked ham hocksExtra virgin olive oil3 whole cloves2 med to large onions, cut into a 1/2 ich dice1 small to med green bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces1 small to med red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces2 tsp kosher salt28 to 32 oz chicken stock6 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped3 bay leaves, broken2 tsp ground cumin1 1/2 tsp ground oregano3/4 to 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper3 TBS tomato paste3 15 oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed3 limes or about 1/2 cup vinegar (sherry, wine, cider or palm)

Directions

Trim meat away from ham hock cutting into small pieces (I tend to put the hocks in whole and cut the meat off when the soup's done). Film the bottom of a stock pot with olive oil over medium high heat. Stir in the bones and meat, cloves, onions, bell peppers and salt. Saut� for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the veggies are sizzling and there's a brown glaze at the bottom of the pot.
Add a little of the broth plus the garlic, bay leaves, cumin, oregano, black pepper , and tomato paste. Scrape up the glaze as you simmer for 3 minutes. Add the beans and the rest of the broth. Adjust heat so that the soup bubbles gently. Cover and cook 20 minutes.

Add the juice from 2 1/2 limes (or the vinegar). Tast e and adjust seasoning.

Serve with garnishes: chopped onion, coriander leaves, hot sauce. This can be served over rice, in the Cuban style.
