Romanian Refried Beans
Creamy, savory and sweet, these romanian refreid beans are simple to make yet so flavorful. They are for me, the absolute ultimate comfort food from my childhood.
Equipment
- Food Processor, Heavy bottomed pot
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp neutral oil, like grapeseed (I prefer to use a spray oil so that the recipe is virtually fat free)
- a couple pinches salt
- 4-5 cups black beans, cooked, drained, processed in a food processor (I like them a little chunky)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Heat a solid-bottomed pan or cast iron skillet over high heat and add the oil (or spray oil) and onions.
- Add the salt, stir a bit, then lower the heat to medium. The onions will start to become translucent and brown just a bit.
- Then add the processed beans, paprika, and water to thin.
- Heat until it starts to let off bursts of steam, and heated through.
- Taste for seasoning (it might need additional salt) and serve.
