Kidney beans with their 'sacred ingredients'

Preparation:

Leave the beans to soak the day before. Cook the ribs and bacon with water and a pinch of salt for 30 minutes in the pressure cooker. Drain and set aside. Cook the black pudding and chorizo in a separate pot in water with a pinch of salt for 40 minutes at slow heat. Chop the onion, green pepper and leek and lightly fry in the pressure cooker with a little olive oil. Drain and add the beans. Cover with water, season and close, allowing 30 minutes cooking time. The beans are then served with their sacred ingredients. The hot Ibarra peppers are the ideal accompaniment.
