Chef's Notes
Do not skip the bean soaking step unless you want a soup that takes until next week to cook. The ham hocks provide an immense amount of natural smokiness, so keep an eye on your salt levels.
Pro Tip
When pulling the meat off the ham hocks, use two forks to shred it effortlessly while it is still warm, saving your royal fingers from unnecessary burns.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to remove the bay leaves before serving, which inevitably results in an unsuspecting guest choking on a stiff, herbal leaf and staring at you with pure betrayal.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They call it a 'one-pot meal' because the cook is too lazy to wash a second dish, not because of the culinary sophistication.
The Culinary Science
Dried beans contain complex sugars called oligosaccharides that break down during the long soak and simmer, which drastically improves both their texture and digestibility.
