You might already
have noticed that this week is Mexican themed with The VegHog. Today
I'm making refried beans, which are a great and filling addition to
any vegetarian Mexican meal.
Ingredients
1 cup dried red
kidney beans
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
A few tablespoons
of vegetable stock
Ground coriander
Pepper
Salt
Oil
Soak the beans
overnight if you're using dried beans. On the next day then boil them
until fully cooked. First boil them heavily for about 15 minutes and
then boil them further at lower heat for about an hour. When the
beans are cooked mash them. I keep also the bean skins but if you
prefer you can press the mash through a colander if you want a
smoother consistency.
Chop the onion and
garlic and fry them lightly in oil. Then add the beans to the pan.
Fry at low heat for about 20 minutes occasionally stirring. Add a
little vegetable stock to make the mixture smoother. Season with
salt, pepper and ground coriander.

I used to love eating these with some fresh baked bread as a child! Thank you for sharing the recipe, this one is very similar to the one that my mother used, very authentic. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm afraid as a Finn I'm not very authentic Mexican cook but I tried to make it quite basic and beany, no gimmicks. :)
