Notes

  • Can substitute vegetable, chicken or beef stock instead of water.

  • HOW TO SERVE BEANS
  • Beans can be enjoyed with the broth, or drain liquid and serve as a side.
  • Use the beans to make vegan or vegetarian tacos, tostadas, burritos, enchiladas or taquitos.
  • Use an immersion blender or potato masher to mash the beans into “refried beans”. Drain most of the cooking liquid. Adding some of the cooking liquid back to the beans, as needed. I like to leave some of the beans whole to add to the texture of the dish.
  • Traditional refried beans, frijoles refritos are made by adding the cooked beans to a frying pan with a bit of fat (traditionally lard). Then mashed with a potato masher. Add some of the cooking liquid back to the beans, as needed. They are delicious either way.
  • Beans can be refrigerated for 3-4 days. For longer storage freeze for up to 2 months or pressure can the beans for a shelf stable product.
