Refried beans are typically made from pinto beans, but black beans work well, too. Add a dab of sour cream if you crave a little richness. Recipe courtesy of Gourmet Magazine. Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 tablespoon corn oil |
1 (19 ounce) can black beans, including liquid |
1/2-1 cup water |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Cook garlic in oil in a skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add beans with their liquid and mash with a potato masher or the back of a large spoon to make a coarse purée.
3. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot.
4. Stir in enough of water to thin to a creamy consistency.
5. Add pepper to taste.
6. Serve warm, sprinkled with cilantro.
7. (Beans can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat, adding water if necessary.) Makes 4 servings.
