All-Day Beans
To serve 4 to 6
2 cups (1 pound) dried pinto beans
6 cups water
A 2-ounce piece of lean salt pork, with the rind removed
4 dried hot red chilies, each about 1 inch long, stemmed, seeded if desired, and pulverized in a blender or with a mortar and pestle (caution: see note)
1 medium-sized onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 recipe salsa cruda

   Wash the beans in a colander set under cold running water and discard any blemished beans. In a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Drop in the beans and cook briskly, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the beans soak for 1 hour.

   Add the salt pork, chilies and onion slices, and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and simmer tightly covered for 5 1/2 hours. Stir in the salt and simmer for 30 minutes longer, or until a bean can be easily mashed against the side of the pan with the back of a spoon. (Stir the beans from time to time. If the water seems to be cooking away, add more boiling water by the 1/4 cup. When fully cooked, however, the beans should have absorbed most of the liquid.)

   Ladle the all-day beans into individual heated bowls and mound a teaspoon of salsa cruda on top of each portion. Spoon the remaining salsa cruda into a separate bowl and serve it at once with the beans.
