Description

Directions

• Sort through the beans and discard any rocks or shriveled beans
• Rinse the beans and drain well
• Add beans to a pot and cover with 10-12 cups of water, or so the water level is 2 above the beans
• Add the roughly chopped onion and 1-2 tablespoons of lard (lard is optional)
• Bring to a boil
• Reduce heat to a simmer and partially cover
• Let simmer for 1.5-2 hours
• Ensure that the water level is well above the beans by adding more water if you need to
• Start tasting them after 1 1/2 hours. If they are hard or grainy they need a little more time.
• Once done add 1 teaspoon of salt and simmer for another 10-15 minutes
• If you want, portion into 1 cup sized bags (or jars). Include plenty of the broth in the portion bags.
