One of my favorite dishes that works either as an appetizer or side dish is
|
|
refried beans. A classic from Mexican cuisine, that is best eaten with some
|
|
totopos, or tortilla chips.
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
As usual, the ingredients here are for about two adult portions:
|
|
|
|
* 400-500g can of pre-cooked beans
|
|
* 1/4 onion
|
|
* 3-4 garlic cloves
|
|
* Cumin
|
|
* Paprika
|
|
* 2-4 spoonfuls butter
|
|
* Cooking oil (can be olive oil)
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Add the oil and the butter to the frying pan and heat to medium heat.
|
|
2. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
|
|
3. Once the frying pan is heated, add the onion and garlic to the pan, and fry
|
|
them for about 3 minutes.
|
|
4. Add salt, cumin, and paprika to taste. Usually I add paprika until the mix is
|
|
a brownish red. Mix with your spatula, and let fry for about 5 minutes.
|
|
5. Open the can of beans and pour the beans into the pan. Depending on how
|
|
liquid you want the refried beans to be, you can use all or just some part of
|
|
the liquid inside the can. I usually get rid of some of the liquid from the
|
|
can before pouring the beans.
|
|
6. Mash the beans and mix. Let them fry at medium-low to medium heat for about 5
|
|
to 10 minutes, mixing from time to time.
|
|
7. Serve, and enjoy with some totopos.
