List of Ingredients
2 cups dried pinto, black, or red kidney beans
2 onions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bay (laurel) leaf
1 tsp (5 ml) red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 Tbs (60 ml) lard or vegetable oil
Recipe
Place the beans in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Add half
the chopped onion, half the chopped garlic, the bay leaf, and the red
pepper flakes and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce the heat
and simmer covered, adding more water as necessary. Cook 1 to 2
hours, until the beans are soft. The beans should be fairly dry when
done. Heat the lard or vegetable oil in a skillet and saute the
remaining onion and garlic until tender but not brown. Add the onion
mixture to the beans and mash the beans until they are creamy and have
formed a thick, dry paste. Serves 4 to 6.
