In a large pot saute onions and garlic in a splash of broth, sherry or
water, until onions are translucent.
Drain beans & rinse with clean water. Add beans & broth to onions, bring
to boil & add ham hock & cayenne. Partially cover and simmer, stirring
occasionally until beans are tender, 2-4 hours (unless you use canned

in adding vinegar & sherry. Serve hot over rice and pass the garnishes.
Warm rye bread is a lovely complement.
