Simple and perfect beans every time. Refried beans are delicate in flavour. Any additions to the recipe will destroy this wonderful thing which took me many attempts and trips to a really authentic mexican restaurant to figure out. Try it in it's simple beauty. Epazote is easily found online or at your local mexican grocery store.

Time P1DT2h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb pinto beans or 1 lb black beans
6 cups water
1 sprig epazote
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Rinse and sort beans.
  • Soak beans in the 6 cups water for 24 hours. Do not discard this water.
  • Bring to a strong simmer. cover and continue strong simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender.
  • Add salt at this point only. Never before or while cooking. Remove epazote and discard. Keep all cooking liquid.
  • Blend with food processor or stick blender if you are truly cool. I like to leave some chunks for texture. I also recommend using all of the cooking liquid. This is where the flavour lives. The beans may initially be quite thin but will thicken up.
