Red Beans with Chorizo

Rinse beans. Place in large bowl and cover with water by 2 inches. Cover and soak overnight; drain.

Halve 1 onion and place in 4-quart stockpot. Add beans, 15 cloves garlic, and salt. Cover with water by 2 inches, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 1 1/2–2 hours until beans are tender; remove onion halves and discard.

Meanwhile, chop remaining onion and 5 cloves garlic coarsely. Remove seeds from tomato and chop coarsely. Remove casing from chorizo, slice in half lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

Heat oil in large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Add onions, garlic, and chorizo. Cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender.

Stir in tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder. Cook 4–5 minutes until tomatoes begin to break down. Stir vegetable mixture into beans. Simmer 15–20 minutes; sprinkle with cilantro, if using, and serve.
