Gather @red kidney bean{250%g} and @sunflower oil{40%ml}.

Drain the soaked @hominy{400%g} and beans, rinse, and put them in a heavy pot with fresh water to cover generously.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook uncovered for 2 hours, topping up water as needed, until both hominy and beans are soft and starting to break down. ~{2%hours}

Meanwhile, fry the @onion{1} in the oil until soft and golden.

Fold the onion into the pot with the @vegetable stock{500%ml}; simmer 20 more minutes until it all creams together. ~{20%minutes}

Mash a few spoonfuls against the side of the pot to help it thicken, if it still looks loose.

Season generously and serve hot, on its own or alongside grilled meat.
