Place the soaked beans in a large pot with the pork, chorizo, and onion, and cover generously with water.

Bring to a gentle simmer, skimming any foam, and cook uncovered for about 1.5-2 hours.

Add the morcilla and saffron partway through cooking.

Simmer until the beans are tender and the broth has thickened slightly, adding a little cold water occasionally to help the beans cook evenly.

Remove the whole onion before serving, and season with salt to taste.
