1. Soak the beans overnight in 5 cups of water in a cool place or in the
refrigerator.

2. Drain the beans and place them in a 5-quart pot. Add 4 cups of water,
the ham hock, salt, red pepper, and thyme. Heat to boiling , then reduce
the heat to a bare simmer. Cover and cook until the beans are almost
tender, about 1 hour.

3. Stir 1 cup of water and the rice into the beans . Heat to boiling,
reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, until the rice and beans
are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Check the
seasonings. If you like, you may remove the meat from the ham hock and mix
it into the rice. Serve hot.
