Vegetarian Re Fried Beans Frijoles From Scratch Recipes

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large saucepan, and cover with an inch of water. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. When the beans have come to a boil, drain, and return them to the same pot. Cover the beans with 2 inches of water, and stir in 1 tablespoon of garlic, the tomato, cumin, and chili powder. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the beans are very soft, about 3 hours and 45 minutes, adding water as needed.
• Once the beans have cooked, mash them with the remaining tablespoon of garlic, the oil, and salt to taste; use additional water as needed to achieve desired consistency. Place over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve.

Steps:

• Combine water, pinto beans, and garlic into a large pot and cover; Cook over low heat for 5 1/2 hours; stir salt into beans and continue cooking until beans are very soft, about 30 minutes more.
• Heat canola oil in a skillet over high heat. Spoon the beans into the skillet without draining excess water; mash beans using a potato masher until they begin to lose their shape, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• 1) Rinse and pick through the beans in a colander. Check for stones and blackened beans to be removed. 2) Transfer the rinsed beans to a large pot and cover with clean, filtered water. (To help remove gas, drain the water after 20 minutes at a hard boil and replace with more filtered water. Return to a hard boil.) 3) After 20 minutes at a hard boil, reduce heat to low, cover and allow to simmer for 4 hours. 4) Once 4 hours has passed, remove beans from heat. In a large frying pan heat your Olive Oil on medium-high. Add the onion and cloves. Cook till the everything is a nice golden brown color. 5) For the frying pan, reduce heat to Medium-Low. With a slotted spoon begin transferring the cooked beans over the onion and garlic. 6) Once all the beans are in the frying pan, set aside the bean broth in your pot for later use. Sprinkle Garlic Salt over the frying beans. Fold the beans with a wooden spoon so the oil, salt, garlic and onions are well distributed. 7) Continue frying the beans till the liquid at the bottom of the pan looks milky or about 15-20 minutes. 8) Mash beans with a potato masher or a fork till they are at your preferred consistency. 9) In the center of your mashed beans create a well for the bean broth. Stir up the broth and pour enough of the broth in the well to reach the level of the beans. Gently cut through the mashed beans to create an even and creamy texture. If the beans seem to wet, allow the water to cook off, stirring occasionally. The bottom of the pan has a tendency to over cook the beans. If they still seem to dry, add more bean broth or filtered water. 10) Your all done, serve with grated cheese, tortillas, chips or use as a side for another Mexican dish. Enjoy!
