- Note: Dry black beans should be soaked overnight in cool water to cover.
- Amount of Bucheron or possibly Montrachet may be increased to 1-1/2 times amount given.
- Drain the beans and put them in a 2-qt saucepan with the ham hock and fermented black beans. Add in cool water to cover ingredients by 2 inches.
- Bring the water to a boil, skimming of any froth which rises to the surface.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 hrs, till the beans are tender.
- Remove and throw away the ham hock. Reserve the beans and about 1 c. of the liquid, or possibly sufficient to give the beans a stew like consistency.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet. Add in the fennel and cook over moderate heat, for about 5 min, till tender. Add in the beans, the bean liquid, the garlic, salsa and vinegar and stir. Cook over low heat for 20 min, stirring occasionally.
- Spread the goat cheese on the bread slices. Place under the broiler for 1 to 2 min, just till golden brown.
- Taste the beans and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add in the snails and cook for 5 min, till they are heated through. Remove the beans from the heat and stir in the roasted peppers.
- Divide the ragout among 4 serving plates and sprinkle with cilantro. Place 2 cheese-topped croutons at the sides of each plate.
