Step 1
Start by pouring the water and lard into a large pot and bring it to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, add the beans in. Let them cook over medium heat for about 2 to 2 and a half hours. After that, stir in some salt and keep cooking for another 30 minutes or so, until the beans are nice and tender. Check on them occasionally to make sure they don’t dry out, and give them a stir every now and then. When they’re soft and flavorful, they’re ready to enjoy!
