  water into a stock pot. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer until the beans
  are just tender, about 1 hour. Remove the ham hocks and let them cool. Add
  the onions and garlic to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes. Slice the meat
  off the ham hocks and add to the pot. Add the rice and simmer until the
  rice is tender and the water is absorbed (it may be necessary to add more
  water).
