  • 500 g precooked white beans

  • 500 g precooked brown beans

Instructions

  1. Chop the onions into small pieces.

  2. Put lard into a wide and deep pot. Put on low heat to melt the lard.

  3. Once the lard has melted, mix in the onions and turn up the heat to medium. Yellow the onions until they get soft and translucent.

  4. Put the soup vegetables into the pot. Pour water into the pot. Pour enough water to cover everything.

  5. Close the pot and let it simmer until the vegetables are soft.

  6. Chop the pork into small bits.

  7. Take the pot off of the stove and puree the vegetables.

  8. Put the pot back on the stove at medium heat. Add the beans and chopped meats to the pot.

  10. Leave the stew to simmer for at least an hour. Leave it cooking for 2-3 hours if you can. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes.
