Refried Black Beans

By chris5863

Ingredients

• 1 pound dried black beans, soaked overnight in cold water
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Drain the soaked beans and add to a pot. Cover with 2 inches cold water and add the garlic, onions, cumin, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Leave to a simmer until the beans are tender and the liquid has turned into a thick sauce, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Melt the butter in a skillet and pour in the beans. Mash the beans (leave some texture) and cook over a medium heat, 3 or 4 minutes.
