[Guest guest]

Basic Beans

 

2 cups dried pinto, kidney, or black beans

1 onion, peeled and finely chopped

2 cloves garlic

4 tbls. olive oil

pinch salt

 

Soak beans for at least 8 hours.

Add beans, onion, garlic and oil to crockpot and cook on low for 10-12

hours.

Drain beans, reserving 1-2 cups of liquid. Process until desired consistency

in

food processor, adding liquid as necessary.

Salt to taste.

 

For traditional refried beans, mash well drained beans in hot oil instead of

processing them.

This keeps well in the fridge, or freezes wonderfully.
