Simple Low Fat Non Refried Beans Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl mash 2/3 cup of beans to a smooth paste.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining beans with the water. When heated through, stir in garlic, pepper, salt and liquid smoke.
• Stir the bean paste into the whole beans and mix well. Stir in the onion and cook for 10 minutes, or until onions are slightly cooked.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low 12 hours or high 8 hours. Add more water if necessary.
• Remove and discard bay leaf. Drain beans, reserving broth. Mash beans by hand with a potato masher, adding broth as necessary to achieve desired consistency. Discard unused broth, or use in other recipes.

Steps:

• Wash and sort the beans.
• Bring beans to a rolling boil in a large pan of water.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer 4 1/2 hours (Do NOT drain).
• Blend beans in a food processor, using the liquid the beans were cooked in to reach the desired consistency.

Steps:

• Lightly drain the beans, reserving the juice from the tin, but do not rinse (you want the beans in about half the liquid from the can). Depending on the texture you prefer, either mash them roughly in a bowl or blitz them using a blender until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole and cook the onions for 8-10 mins until soft and golden. Scatter in the garlic, chilli and cumin seeds, and sizzle everything for 2 mins more. Tip in the beans, oregano, paprika and a pinch of salt. Cook everything together for 5 mins until the beans have heated through adding more reserved bean juice if it's too thick. Serve straightaway with a sprinkling of coriander, if you like, or leave to cool and keep chilled. Will keep chilled for up to three days or frozen for a month. Reheat with a splash of water mixed in.

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.

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Cook garlic cloves in hot oil, turning once, until brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Smash garlic cloves in skillet with a fork.
• Stir pinto beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt into mashed garlic and cook until beans are thoroughly heated, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Smash bean mixture with a potato masher to desired texture. Squeeze lime juice over smashed beans and stir until combined.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute the onion in oil until tender.
• Stir in the garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne; cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Add beans and mash (I use a potato masher).
• Add water; cook and stir until heated through and water is absorbed. It only takes a few minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice.

Steps:

• Place the onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Cook on High for 8 hours, adding more water as needed. Note: if more than 1 cup of water has evaporated during cooking, then the temperature is too high.
• Once the beans have cooked, strain them, and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher, adding the reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.

Steps:

• Place beans in a Dutch oven; add water to cover by 2 in. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain beans; discard liquid. Return beans to pan; add water to cover. Add onion and garlic; bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 2 hours or until beans are very tender, adding water to keep covered if needed. Discard onion and garlic. Mash beans with a potato masher, leaving some beans whole. Stir in cumin and hot pepper sauce.
