REFRIED BLACK BEANS

A healthier, low fat refried black beans recipe made with canned black beans, onion, garlic, and diced green chiles.

Provided by Mason Woodruff

Categories     Side Dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cans Black Beans
4 oz can Diced Green Chiles
1 medium (250g) White Onion, finely diced
5 cloves (25g) Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon (16g) Olive Oil
1-2 tablespoons (15-30g) Hot Sauce
1/2-1 cup (120-240mL) Vegetable, Chicken, or Beef Broth

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding the onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion softens and begins to slightly brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, before adding the diced green chiles and hot sauce. Stir until combined.
  • Add the black beans and 1/2 cup of broth. (If your black beans have lots of liquid in the can, you may not need the rest of the broth.) Cook until very little liquid remains, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce to a low heat and use a potato masher or the backside of a spatula to mash the black beans. If your refried beans are thicker than you'd like, add more broth and cook a bit further.

REFRIED BLACK BEANS



Refried Black Beans image

Black beans are a Mexican staple, whether served soupy or refried. Here we'll make both, starting with dried beans for a taste and texture that transcends canned. (Use oil instead of lard to make these vegetarian! It's less traditional, but still delicious.)

Provided by Gabriela Cámara

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup lard, vegetable oil, or mild olive oil, preferably lard
1 medium white onion, finely diced
2 cups Soupy Black Beans, drained, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 quart water
2 cups dried black beans, rinsed
1 sprig dried epazote, available at Latin specialty stores; may substitute 1 tablespoon dried oregano or marjoram
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
Dried or fresh oregano, preferably Mexican, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add lard. When lard has melted and begun to shimmer, add onions; adjust heat to medium-low, stir, and cook until translucent and soft, 6-8 minutes. Add 2 cups of Soupy Black Beans, well drained, to the skillet. Use a potato masher to mast beans directly in the skillet, while alternately stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture becomes a thick, creamy, relatively uniform paste. (Alternatively, you can use a blender.) When the refried beans have reached the appropriate consistency, taste and season with salt as necessary. Makes about 2 cups. (Use Refied Black Beans in Chef Camara's Torta Ahogada recipe.)
  • Add water to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; then add beans, epazote, and garlic. Season with salt, stir, and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook at a gentle simmer until beans are soft but not falling apart, about 40-60 minutes (checking after 30 minutes).
  • Check beans for doneness by removing one from the pan and squeezing; it should be easily mashable. Taste and season with salt as necessary. Serve as a side dish, garnished with oregano. Makes about 4 cups.

Try making this dish to serve at a party - it works well as a dip served with nachos. It's also a great accompaniment to a larger Tex-Mex-style meal

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4 as a topping or 2 as side

Number Of Ingredients 9

400g can black, pinto or kidney beans
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 green chilli, chopped (optional)
1 tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp smoked paprika
chopped coriander, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Lightly drain the beans, reserving the juice from the tin, but do not rinse (you want the beans in about half the liquid from the can). Depending on the texture you prefer, either mash them roughly in a bowl or blitz them using a blender until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole and cook the onions for 8-10 mins until soft and golden. Scatter in the garlic, chilli and cumin seeds, and sizzle everything for 2 mins more. Tip in the beans, oregano, paprika and a pinch of salt. Cook everything together for 5 mins until the beans have heated through adding more reserved bean juice if it's too thick. Serve straightaway with a sprinkling of coriander, if you like, or leave to cool and keep chilled. Will keep chilled for up to three days or frozen for a month. Reheat with a splash of water mixed in.

REFRIED BLACK BEANS

Use these refried beans to make Chicken Tomatillo Tostadas.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Yield Makes enough for 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small onions, very finely chopped
1 dried bay leaf
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
3 cans black beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and bay leaf; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and chili powder; cook, stirring, until garlic is softened and mixture is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf and discard. Add 2/3 of the black beans and stir to coat. Add 2/3 cup water and mash mixture using a potato masher. Add remaining black beans and stir to combine; add water, if necessary to thin. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use dried black beans for the most flavorful refried beans. Soaking the beans overnight before cooking them will help to reduce the cooking time.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them. To do this, bring the beans to a boil in a large pot of water. Remove the pot from the heat and let the beans sit for 1 hour. Drain the beans and rinse them before cooking them.
  • Be sure to season the refried beans well. Salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano are all good choices. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Mash the refried beans to your desired consistency. Some people prefer a smooth, creamy consistency, while others prefer a more chunky consistency.
  • Serve the refried beans with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Refried black beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a side dish, a main course, or a dip. They can also be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. No matter how you choose to serve them, refried black beans are sure to be a hit!
