Ingredients:

  • 2 cups black beans
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 12 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Beans:

    • Place dry beans in a fine colander and pick out any stones you see.
    • Rinse the beans thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Initial Cooking:

    • Place the rinsed beans in a large pot and add 6 cups of water.
    • Bring the water to a boil and let the beans boil for 4 minutes.
    • Cover the pot and remove it from heat.
    • Allow the beans to stand for 1 hour.
