Instructions
Step 1
Bring beans and 7½ cups water to a boil in a 6-qt. saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 1 hour. Using a wooden spoon, crush beans lightly in cooking liquid. Transfer beans and cooking liquid to a bowl and wipe out saucepan. Melt lard over medium heat; add onions and cook until golden, 18–20 minutes. Return beans and liquid to pan and cook, stirring often, until liquid evaporates, about 15 minutes more. Season with salt.
