Refried Beans
Ingredients
- One 440g can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 155 to 240ml chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium store-bought
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (optional)
Method
How to make Refried Beans
1) Reserve about a third of the beans. Mash the rest of the beans in a medium bowl with a large fork. Set aside.
2) Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the spices and cook until fragrant about 1 minute.
3) Add the mashed beans and half the stock; cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved beans and the enough of the remaining stock to loosen up the beans. Simmer until the beans are thick but not pasty, about 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh coriander, if desired, and serve.
