Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or refined coconut oil or other neutral vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
- 2-3 medium garlic cloves minced
- 1 1/2-2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 cups cooked black beans drained. Canned is fine.
- 3/4 cup bean liquid or water from the cans of black beans
Instructions
- Heat oil or shortening in medium frying pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are soft and just beginning to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add half of the beans (1 1/2 cups) and mash completely with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups beans and mash, leaving about half of the beans intact, or whatever strikes your personal texture fancy.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the bean starches begin to coat the bottom of the pan and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add bean-cooking liquid or water, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate the water and heat the beans through, about 2 minutes. .The beans may initially look soupy, but they’ll thicken as they cool, so be sure to add all of the water or bean-cooking liquid.
Recipe Notes
It will take about 2 standard cans of black beans to make 3 cups cooked black beans.Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5-7 days.
