For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hock instead of diced ham. Add a bay leaf during simmering for extra depth. If you don't have time for an overnight soak, use the quick-soak method: cover beans with water, bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour before draining and rinsing. Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice.
