  ~ Wash beans, soak them in water overnight. ~ In the
  same water, bring beans to a boil and add onion. Let
  boil for about 1 hour, adding more water as it
  evaporates. ~ When beans are almost done, add 4
  tablespoons lard or oil and salt to taste. Let cool
  for 3 hours. ~ Bring back to the boil. Add remaining
  lard or oil and chiles de arbor. When beans begin to
  come apart and broth has become muddy, the beans are
  done. ~ Lard-less beans are called "Frijoles de la
  Olla"
