Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Place ham, bacon, and remaining onion in a baking dish. Bake until mixture is crispy, 15 minutes.
Step 3
Drain bacon and ham mixture and add to beans. Season with bay leaves, coriander, salt, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes more.
Step 4
Stir in chopped cilantro and parsley just before serving.
Step 5
Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add 3/4 cup chopped onion, green onions, and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 4 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in soaked beans and fill with enough water to cover beans by 3 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 2 hours, or until tender.
Step 7
While beans are cooking, place ham hocks in a smaller pot with 1/4 cup chopped onion.
Step 8
Cover with water and simmer until meat pulls off of the bone easily, about 1 hour.

Drain and add to beans. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
