Homemade Refried Black Beans
  1. Finley chop the onion and finely chop or crush the garlic.

  2. Strain the beans, either from can or from cooking liquid if you have cooked yourself, but reserve the can or cooking liquid.

  3. Warm the oil in a skillet/frying pan and add the onion.

  4. Cook a few minutes until the onion has softened, then add the garlic and cook a minute more.

  5. Add the beans to the skillet, cook a minute to warm then mash with a potato masher to break them up.

  6. Add some of the bean can/cooking liquid to thin out the mixture and bring to a simmer.

  7. Mash a little more if you need to break the beans up further, and add additional liquid as needed to get the consistency you prefer.

  8. Simmer briefly to ensure warmed right through and serve.
