- Step 1
Place the black beans in a large saucepan. Add the ham hocks, bay leaf, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, chili flakes and cinnamon. Add cold water to cover. Simmer gently over medium heat until the beans are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the ham hocks. Set aside to cool. Drain the beans and rinse under cold running water until chilled. Set aside.
- Step 2
Combine the lime juice and Sherry vinegar in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside. Pull the ham off the hock, discarding the bone and fat. Mince the meat and add it to the salad bowl. Add the beans and coriander leaves. Toss to combine. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.

I started with this recipe but added some leeks and garlic at the beginning. I cooked with a 2+ lb ham hock and kept tasting after I added the dressing. I felt like it was lacking in texture difference so I added roasted corn and fresh bell pepper. So perhaps I skewed the recipe towards Mexican vs Caribbean. I think without my additions it wouldn't be as flavorful as I wanted it to be. Served with rice and pickled jalapeños.

I did not have ham hocks and so substituted a 4oz package of pancetta. Better the next day after flavors had melded and texture softened. I served over white rice with ceviche.
