This is actually our version of Pork and Beans.
It's a good thing to soak the beans for at least 6 hours but not more than 8 hours because if the beans you got were as frisky as mine, they'd be ready to sprout after 8 hours! Having to soak them for a long time also makes one less likely to get gas! hehehe! You could just pressure cook the beans for a few mins which would also do the job of softening them, but I prefer the long soak, it makes creamier beans I think, just a personal choice.
Mince onions, a few cloves of garlic, chop some salt pork and chorizo. Drop the salt pork in a hot pot and let the fat render. Sautee the onions and garlic in the fat along with the chorizo. When the onions are soft and translucent, add the beans and some ham knuckles and let them simmer for a few hours (2 to 3 hours in my case) until the beans are soft and creamy.
I like having this dish with toasted crusty bread. I added a fried egg because this was my breakfast one morning. :D
