=== Beans ===
# In a large bowl, add the beans and cover with cold water by 2 inches.
# Let the beans soak in the refrigerator overnight.
# Drain.
# Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
# Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 8 minutes.
=== Adobo ===
# In small bowl, whisk together cumin, coriander, salt, cayenne, and adobo seasoning.
# Add the garlic and bay leaves to the onion and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
# Add the beans, water, ham hocks, and half of the adobo.
# Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, about 2 hours.
# Remove the ham hocks and pull and shred the meat.
# Add the meat back to the stew and discard the bones (the stew can be made up to this point up to 3 days ahead).
=== Meat ===
# In a large bowl, toss the sausages with the remaining adobo.
# Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
# Working in batches, brown the sausages and transfer them to a plate.
# Roughly chop the sausages and stir them into the stew.
# Return the skillet to high heat and, working in batches, brown the beef and pork and add them to the stew.
# Return the stew to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes more.
# When ready to serve, arrange a mound of rice in the center of 8 plates and spoon some of the stew over the top of each.
# Spoon some of the pico de gallo and greens on opposite sides of the stew.
# Sprinkle with the farofa and chopped scallion and garnish with orange wedges.
=== Pico de Gallo ===
# In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients.

=== Sautéed greens ===
# Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
# Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
# Add the greens and wine and cook, stirring, until wilted.

# Season with salt and pepper (makes 8 side-dish servings).
=== Farofa ===
