Recipe from WorldWideRecipes.com
e-newsletter
2 cups dried pinto, black, or red kidney beans
2 onions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bay (laurel) leaf
1 tsp (5 ml) red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 Tbs (60 ml) lard or vegetable oil
Place the beans in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Add
half the chopped onion, half the chopped garlic, the bay leaf,
and the red pepper flakes and bring to a boil over moderate
heat. Reduce the heat and simmer covered, adding more water
as necessary. Cook 1 to 2 hours, until the beans are soft. The
beans should be fairly dry when done. Heat the lard or vegetable
oil in a skillet and sauté the remaining onion and garlic until
tender but not brown. Add the onion mixture to the beans and
mash the beans until they are creamy and have formed a thick,
dry paste. Serves 4 to 6.
