(Re)fried Black Beans

[drewbear]

I've been cooking from scratch more often nowadays and today I finally managed to make refried black beans properly. Overnight soak, simmer for an hour, fry the beans in lard/cooking oil, mash in pan, continue frying, occasionally adding the soak water and finally, once the bean slurry is evenly mixed and most of the water has cooked off, add a dollop of sour cream to add, well, creaminess.

They turned out well and oh lordy, did the apartment smell good all day.

cooking with lard ALWAYS smells delish ^_^
hooray for animal fat and its tasteyness!
