For a smoky depth of flavor, consider using smoked paprika in addition to the other spices. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have pork neck bones, you can substitute with smoked ham hocks. Soaking the kidney beans overnight can reduce cooking time and improve digestibility, although it is not necessary. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
