1 large onion, split

Combine beans, ham, stock or water, onion, garlic, and bay leaves in large Dutch oven. Add 1teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

When ham is cool enough to handle, shred meat into small pieces with fingers and return to pot with beans. Discard bones. Add kale to beans. Bring to a vigorous simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until some beans have broken down completely, liquid is reduced to thick stew-like consistency, and kale is completely tender, about 30 minutes longer.

Season to taste with additional salt and black pepper and serve immediately in shallow bowls, drizzling with plenty of extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sherry vinegar. Serve with crusty bread toasted with olive oil.
