Preparation

Soak the beans in plenty of cold water for 12 hours. Drain; do not use the soaking water.
Put beans, bacon, ham, onion, garlic and bay leaf into a deep pot. Cover with cold water by 3 cm and bring slowly to a gentle simmer.
Keep the heat low for 2 hours, adding a little cold water if the beans become exposed. Do not stir; move the pot gently instead, so the beans stay whole.
Prick the chorizo and add it after 1 hour. Add saffron and black pudding only for the final 15 minutes so the pudding does not burst.
Remove onion, garlic and bay leaf. Taste before salting because the cured meats are salty. Rest 15 minutes, slice the sausages and serve.
