- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 Russet potatoes, cut into 12 wedges each
- 1 head cabbage, quartered

- 2 cans (15 ounces each) stewed tomatoes
- 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans
- 2 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Preparation
Cover a ham hock with 2 quarts water in large pot and let simmer until meat on hock can be pulled off easily. Remove hock and pull the meat apart.
Return meat to water, then add other ingredients and cook on low heat for 1½–2 hours. Adjust seasoning to taste, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.
