- Soak the beans 6 hours. Put them in the mixing bowl with the water, onion and garlic and cook 45 min/100°C/reverse/spoon speed. Set aside with their broth.
- Without washing the mixing bowl, sauté the bacon and chorizo 8 min/120°C/reverse/spoon speed.

- Add the beans with their broth and cook 10 min/100°C/reverse/spoon speed.

- These are perfect alongside grilled meats or as an appetizer with tortilla chips.
