How to cook bean lobio with walnuts

In the morning I wash the grains and fill them with clean cold water in a ratio of 1: 4. I put the pot on the fire and bring it to a boil. Cook over low heat for about 2 hours, adding boiling water if necessary. I add salt about 15 minutes before the end of cooking. As a result, the beans should become soft and easy to crush with your fingers when pressed.
2. 
   I take the pot off the fire. I pour the decoction of the beans into a separate container, and lightly knead the beans themselves with a crush or a wooden spoon. It is not necessary to bring the puree to a state of puree, it is enough just to slightly crush part of the beans so that their skin cracks more.
3. 
   I pour back a little decoction into the resulting mass - the liquid in which the beans were boiled. Enough 0.5 cups. Then I return the pan to the stove again and boil for 10 minutes, on the smallest fire.
4. 
   Separately, I pass onion, diced, in a small amount of vegetable / butter.
5. 
   I put a pinch of salt, all spices and herbs in a mortar, as well as garlic and half of finely chopped cilantro. That's where I put the nuts. I grind everything in a mortar (can be in a blender).
6. 
   As soon as the lobio is ready, I add onion fried, vinegar and a fragrant mixture from a mortar to it. I warm it up on the fire for another 5 minutes.
7. Lobio from beans with nuts, before serving, I sprinkle the top with the remaining cilantro and half rings of pickled red onion. You can add pomegranate seeds.
