Steps:

• Remove the casing from the chorizo and begin to break it up and brown it in a medium saucepot. After a few minutes add the onion, garlic and green pepper and cook the mixture for about five minutes total.
• Add the beans and broth, then the cumin and bay leaf. Let it come to a boil and then simmer about a half hour.
• Add the lemon juice. (If desired, add salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of sherry. I did not think it needed any of that.).
