Directions:
1. In a large pot, place beans and cover with water. Cover and let stand overnight. Drain and rinse beans before using. 2. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add wine to deglaze. Add stock, rinsed beans, ham hocks, parsley, salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover with lid, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 2 hours. 3. Using tongs, carefully remove ham hocks from pot. Shred meat from ham hocks and return to pot, discarding skin, bones, and cartilage. Stir until well combined.
