Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Judion Dry Beans
6 cups Water for soaking beans
5 cups Chicken broth
1 Onion, diced
1 Bell pepper, diced
4 cloves Garlic, minced
8 ounces Jamon Serrano or Salt Pork, coarsely diced
8 ounces Chorizo sausage, coarsely diced
6 ounces Morcillia (Spanish sausage), coarsely diced (optional)
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

Prep Time/ Cook Time Soak beans overnight, 3-4 hours simmering on the stovetop Instructions Soak the beans overnight in water. Drain. Add beans and broth to a large soup pot. Cook until soft, approximately 3 hours. (Optional: After several hours of cooking feel free to add additional broth or water to make the recipe like a soup, or keep it thick for a traditional taste!) In a separate pot add the Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cook the onion, pepper, and garlic and until just tender. To the onion mixture, add the ham and sausages. Cook for 3 minutes. Remove 1 cup of cooked beans and coarsely mash. Return the mashed beans to the pot containing the remainder of the whole beans. Add the onion-sausage mixture to the beans Simmer for 40 minutes. Add salt to taste. Serve and enjoy! We recommend serving in a terra-cotta clay cazuela.
