Lower heat, cover, and cook beans until soft, about 90 mins - 2 hours. Drain beans and discard onion and garlic. Do not omit this step. You must remove it all.
2. In bowl of lg food processor, add 1/2 of the beans, 2/3 cup water, second onion, & garlic cloves, 2 tsps salt & little pepper. Process to a thinnish pasty mixture. (Next batch will be thicker mixture). Put 1st batch in lg bowl, set aside.
