This is a refried beans recipe that has no lard. I got it out of the bon appetit magazine. I put it up here so that I remember to try it.
Refried Beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
- 2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained
Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and stir 1 minute. Add beans and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Using potato masher, mash beans until about half of beans are mashed. Season with salt and pepper.
Let me know if you try this and how it turns out.
