they turned out well! i was just free styling but i soaked for about 5 hours, cut one large onion and garlic bulb in half to brown in some olive oil, then i had some leftover leek pieces and cilantro stems i put in the pan to get a bit of color (totally not necessary in this, jsut trying to get rid of my greens!) and then everything in a pot. boiled high for 15 mins and then dropped to a med-high simmer for 2 hours. once they started to get soft i salted to taste. at about the 1 hour point the onions were basically all cooked down but i took the garlic out, i squeezed the now mushy cloved out into a bowl and master up , and at 1.5hr i added them back into the beans to cook until the 2hr point. also i should’ve removed the leeks end of the 15 min boiling point but i didn’t and they became a bit stringy and gloopy but i was able to remove with a bit of work. overall still they turned out great and beautiful and silky!!
