Recipe Summary Chef John's Refried Beans
I don't think I would ever sit down to eat just a bowl of refried beans, but they make everything they're served on, with, or in, infinitely better. Just as long as you use lard to make them.Ingredients | Chef Tweezers Nz1 pound dry pinto beans, soaked overnight4 whole garlic cloves, peeled½ teaspoon dried epazote9 cups cold water½ cup lard1 ½ cups diced onions2 teaspoons kosher salt2 tablespoons minced serrano chili pepper1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepperDirectionsDrain soaked beans and transfer them to a stock pot. Add garlic, epazote, and cold water. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Stir. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until beans are soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Drain the beans and reserve all the liquid.Melt lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt; cook until onions start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in serrano pepper and chipotle powder; cook 1 minute. Transfer drained beans into skillet. Mash about half the beans with a potato masher or back of a spoon. Ladle some bean cooking liquid to skillet. Continue to mash and stir beans as you gradually add more liquid. Mash until the beans have reached your preferred consistency and texture. Taste and add more salt, if desired.You can substitute 1 teaspoon dried oregano for 1/2 teaspoon epazote.If you want the beans loose enough to spoon over tortilla chips for nachos, you'll probably need to add all the cooking liquid. But that's up to you.Info | Chef Tweezers Nzprep:
