~ Wash beans, soak them in water overnight. ~ In the same water, bring beans to a boil and add onion. Let boil for about 1 hour, adding more water as it evaporates. ~ When beans are almost done, add 4 tablespoons lard or oil and salt to taste. Let cool for 3 hours. ~ Bring back to the boil. Add remaining lard or oil and chiles de arbor. When beans begin to come apart and broth has become muddy, the beans are done. ~ Lard-less beans are called "Frijoles de la Olla" |
