1) Soak bean overnight in water to cover. Drain and rinse.

2) Stud the onion with cloves.

3) Place all ingredients in a large, heavy pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce
heat and simmer until tender but not mushy. About 1 1/2 hours.

4) Remove flavoring vegetables; discard or reserve for another use.
Slice
chorizos and return to beans; or serve chorizos on their own.

NOTE: For a special treat, puree 2 cups of beans (without chorizos)
along with some of the cooking liquid until you have a smooth paste.
Spread paste atop round corn chips. Sprinkle a bit of monterey jack
cheese over bean paste. Set on baking sheet in 350 F oven for 3
minutes to melt cheese. Serve warm, topped with shredded lettuce and
chopped cilantro. Serve with chorizos.
