Frijoles de la Olla (Homemade Pot of Beans)

Sort through your beans and remove any pebbles or small rocks. You may find 1-2 in each batch of beans. Strain your beans really well then add to pot/ Dutch oven. Cover the beans with filtered water, Add in onion (cut in big chunks) and peeled whole garlic cloves. DO NOT add salt. With the lid off, cook the beans for around 3 hours over medium heat or until the beans are fully cooked, soft and tender. Throughout the cooking process you will need to add 2-3 cups of additional (HOT) filtered water as the water in the pot will begin to evaporate and you want more of a soup consistency. Once the beans are cooked and tender add a generous 2 pinches of salt, mix then taste, add more salt to your liking.
