Refried Beans

• 份量: 8-10

食材

1/4 cup (or more, for richer beans) vegetable oil, rich-tasting pork lard or bacon drippings

1 mediun white onion, chopped into ¼-inch pieces

4 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped

6 to 7 cups cooked beans with their liquid OR 4 15-ounce cans beans, undrained

salt

About 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled Mexican queso fresco or other fresh cheese such as feta or goat cheese , for garnish

步驟

In a large (12-inch) heavy skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron), heat the ¼ cup (or more) oil or other fat over medium.

Add the chopped onion, and cook, stirring regularly, until richly golden, 7 to 8 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Now, using a slotted spoon, begin adding the beans to the skillet several large spoonfuls at a time, mashing them to a coarse puree with a Mexican bean masher, an old-fashioned potato masher or the back of a large spoon. Continue adding and mashing the beans until all have been used.

Stir in enough bean broth to give the mixture the consistency of soft mashed potatoes—the beans will thicken as they begin to cool.

Taste and season with additional salt if necessary.

Either serve directly from the skillet or scoop into a platter or bowl, sprinkle with the crumbled cheese, decorate with tortilla chips, and the they're ready.
