/ck/ - Food & Cooking

ive been working on my recipe
still not perfected
1. pressure cook your beans first, from dry
2. I think the way to do it to puree HALF of them in a blender after cooking with some water or, better, meat stock
3. lime juice and freshly ground cumin, lots of it
this is not a place to be shy with spicing
I also like to add chopped cooked bacon but it won't really be creamy then
4. lots of neutral fat
this is really what it is, they are using way more oil/fat than you would
don't use canned beans plz fren, at a minimum just cook ur own from dried

>fixing canned refried beans
good luck but when making from scratch use lard as the main source of fat and butter for creaminess

1. pressure cook your beans first, from dry until slightly overcooked and soft
2. drain them but save the liquid
3. in empty pot saute finely minced onion, poblano pepper and garlic in lard
4. while still sizzling add cumin, chipotle chili powder, salt
5. add beans into pot and mash with potato masher
6. add butter and bean liquid back in until desired consistency is achieved

The secret is lard

>>19325511
Lard for creaminess, bacon grease for flavor.

Add some dairy to them like butter or milk.

shove them up your ass

That’s stupid, they’ll never get absorbed that way. Are you some kind of queer sexual deviant?

>>19325511
Reheat them in a bit of butter or lard on the stove. Ideally you’d make them from scratch, but realistically no one who isn’t crazy has time for that.

You can add in some tobacco chipotle and call it a day and make the other fixings a bit better.

>tobacco chipotle

cigarette ash?

is this a bot thread? or esl's reposting the top google search result?

restraunt refried beans are just canned refried beans heated with water. add salt and pepper if you want to charge more money. serve with a store bought spoonful of sourcream if you want to charge even more. oh the gringo wants it extra special? slap on that store bought cheese mix. you take a can of beans, plop it into a sauce pan, and then add water. Thats literally it. Theres no secret sauce or ancient chinese secrets. broke ass mexicans just add water to a can of refried beans, which werent even fried in the first place.

If you want to make some authentic bullshit like some imaginary mexican grandmother then you have to get central american herbs such as epizote, which tastes like literal motor oil and is slightly poisonous. dont do this, because your dumb ass doesnt even know the proper season to get them and you will probably make yourself sick.

Lard? bacon? You see a lot of bacon in mexican restraunts? Real Mexicans didnt have that shit until the mid 1900s, thats rich master's food and not for your peasent restraunt slop. Its just canned beans and water.

Correct. Sometimes I add water and a little bit of extra cumin or chilli powder and heat it on the stove to make it like that

>>19325511
I sautee some diced onion and garlic in a pan, then add a small can of hatch chiles, a can of beans, and a little bit of softened cream cheese.

>>19328153
no i just gave my recipe and lard is most certainly used in refried beans even the cheap canned ones

>>19325511
saute onions,
ad garlic
then the canned beans (all high heat)
mush it around until its warm (in a little pot)
add copious green onions, cilantro and a decent bit of sour cream
springle of salt (depending)
kill heat immediately after sourcream and mix well
>done and better than the restaurant
(idk how to make from scratch)

I usually use leftover charro beans to make my refried beans. This is a pretty good channel for mexican stuff if you want to get into it more. You can use regular ass canned pinto beans too. The secret though is literally lard

>>19325511
>>19325664
this
the only canned refrieds that use lard are Rosarita

I live in American Mexico and this is the brand I buy, they sell it at costco lol

You can't get my local tortillas though

But as a consolation you can have my moms red chile sauce recipe
>need: blender, pot, stove, youll have to buy a bag of dried red chiles online probably
>strip the chile pods of stems and seeds, do this under running water in the sink, rinse the pods and put them in the pot with water to soak for a bit then put them in the blender, pack em in
>fill in with fresh water
>blend to a nice smooth consistency
>pour in pot, you can add some spices here if you want, I like a little brown sugar, black pepper, and salt, my mom just leaves it unseasoned which is still good
>simmer until nice and thick
>wa la
Very simple. Goes great on everything from steak to mashed potatos to breakfast burritos

>>19325511
You can't.
