Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the pork hock and pat it dry with paper towels. Carefully cut the pork hock into bite size pieces, cutting as much meat from the bone as possible. Don't discard the bone, we'll add it to the pot later.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, pepper and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until soft.
- Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, salt, pepper and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Add the pork hock meat only at this time, stir it in and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you find everything is sticking to the Dutch oven, deglaze with a bit of water. Stir in the thyme and vegeta if using.
- Add the pork hock bone, drained beans, and enough water to cover the beans and pork.
- Bring to a boil, turn down the heat to simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 2 hours stirring occasionally. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve warm with raw onions, and crispy bread.

Notes
- Smoked Pork Hock Alternative: If you're unable to find a smoked pork hock, smoked ham or smoked turkey legs can also infuse the beans with a rich, smoky flavor.
- Bean Varieties: Feel free to mix up the bean varieties based on what's available or your personal preferences, keeping the overall volume the same.
- Vegeta Seasoning: If you opt out of using Vegeta, consider enhancing the flavor with a mix of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, or simply stick to a good-quality chicken or vegetable broth.
- Adjusting Consistency: Throughout the cooking process, if you find the mixture becoming too dry, you can add more water or broth to reach your desired consistency. Similarly, if it's too watery, allow it to simmer uncovered for a while longer.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch, consider serving with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or a dash of hot sauce for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
