Ingredients
- ¼ onion
- 1 cup cooked black beans canned or pre-cooked from scratch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or lard, traditionally)
- bean cooking liquid, liquid from can as needed
Instructions
- Finley chop the onion. Strain the beans, either from can or from cooking liquid if you have cooked yourself, but reserve the can or cooking liquid.
- Warm the oil in a skillet/frying pan and add the onion. Cook a few minutes until the onion has softened.
- Add the beans to the skillet, cook a minute to warm then mash with a potato masher to break them up. Add some of the bean can/cooking liquid to thin out the mixture and bring to a simmer. Mash a little more if you need to break the beans up further, and add additional liquid as needed to get the consistency you prefer.
- Simmer briefly to ensure warmed right through and serve.

Notes
- If you like, you can also finely chop a clove of garlic and add this in with the onions as they are almost softened. If you don't have enough liquid from the can/cooking liquid, you can add a little stock. Any leftovers can be reheated on the stove or in the microwave - you will probably need to add a little extra liquid and stir well to ensure you don't get a dry crust on top.
