🧂 Ingredients

1 Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours in plenty of water at room
temperature. (SEE NOTES)
2 Drain the beans and discard the water.
3 Preheat a large pot over medium heat and place the bacon at the centre. Let it
become golden for a couple of minutes per side. Remove and reserve.
4 Add the oil and onion and cook it until it's slightly golden, stirring
occasionally.
5 Add the garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute.
6 Add the beans and the water and stir. Also, add the bacon we cooked before.
7 Bring everything to a slow simmer and cover. Let it cook for 1h-1h30min or until
if you crush a bean against the side of the pot it easily disintegrates. If
using a pressure cooker, 40min will be perfect at high pressure.
8 Blend half of the beans. This makes them creamy and delicious. Season with salt
and pepper.
