My friend Gloria is from mexico and makes refried beans just like you get in a good Mexican restaurant. I begged her for the recipe, and I'll share it with you. Cook time includes 2 hr. soaking time. Ingredients:
1 lb dried pinto bean, cleaned (be sure to wash your beans very well. pinto beans can be gritty if not thoroughly cleaned) |
5 cups water |
1 -2 medium onion, diced |
1/2-1 cup hot bacon drippings |
salt |
Directions:
1. Combine beans, water, and onion in a large dutch oven.
2. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from heat for 2 hours (or soak beans in cold water overnight) Return to heat, bring to a boil, and simmer slowly until beans are very tender, about 3 hours.
3. Coarsely mash beans with a potato masher, and add bacon drippings; mix well.
4. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until beans are thickened and fat is absorbed.
5. Salt to taste.
