Ingredients

  • Fresh beans*
  • Oil
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Directions

1

Soak the beans over night, or bring water to a boil, turn off the stove and let the beans sit for an hour.

2

Discard that soaking water and wash beans thoroughly.

3

Heat pot, coat the bottom of the pan with a little oil, and refill with water. (the oil helps to prevent sticking.

4

In addition to onion, add 1/4 to 1/2 diced small green pepper. Add 1 TBSP Chili Powder (Gebharts, if possible) #Optionally, add 2 TBSP Tomato Paste. Add 2 Tsp chicken granules. (All of this adds lots of flavor and body to the beans.) .

5

Cook the beans until really soft. Turn off the fire, cover and lit stand for an hour. In the tropics, the beans will continue to cook!

6

For Refried Beans:

7

Coat the bottom of an iron skillet or aluminum roaster with coconut oil.

8

Add beans and cook until the mix begins to thicken.

9

Smash up the beans with a potato masher, or a Cuisinart "Quick Prep" (This is really the only thing the Quick Prep is good for, but boy is it good for this!!) Add 1 can Salsa Casera, and continue to cook until the beans thicken to the right consistency.
