Hispanic Food

[Anonymous No.5418786]

Hey /ck/ I've been looking for a good refried bean recipe that doesn't include lard. I have a crock pot or a dutch oven i can use. also I'd really like a good mexican rice recipe. basically, whats your go to hispanic dish?

Why don't you just use lard?
Or sub vegetable oil or stock instead.

[Anonymous No.5418794]

use bacon fat you pussy.
Refried aren't delicious and won't maintain their texture without some sort of fat (preferably the kind that is solid at room temp, such as lard or bacon fat).

God you fucking pussies all afraid of fats

[Anonymous No.5418813]

just omit the fat. is that so difficult? the beans really don't need it anyway. they're starchy as it is.

You could use manteca instead!

is coconut oil healthy or not?

Yeah, but I can't imagine it would taste good. Just use bacon fat, or if you absolutely cannot because you don't want them to taste good, use something flavor neutral like peanut or canola.

Anyway, it's pretty simple to cook them.

1. Get a large pot of water lightly boiling, and add a couple of dried, seeded ancho, arbol, and guajuillo chiles in there, and add the rinsed beans, and boil until the beans turn soft.
2. Fish out the chiles and garlic, and drain the beans.
3. Sweat some chopped onion and jalapeno on medium high heat in a large, heavy pan with your fat of choice, then a couple of cloves of minced garlic.
4. Add the means, and mash up, salting well, and season with chile powder, and cumin, and some hot sauce if you wish. Add water if you like them thinner.

Here's my recipe for spanish rice:

1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil per cup of rice you plan to cook (not extra virgin) over medium high heat in a saucepan big enough to boil the rice in.
2. Add the rice in, and cook until just starting to toast. For 2 cups of rice, I use 1 large, roughly chopped onion, and 3 cloves minced garlic, and just mix it into the rice. Season with a little cumin.
3. Add a can of peeled tomatoes, with the juice set aside, to the pot, and stir, breaking the tomatoes up. Once the vegetables have all had their raw edge taken off, and got just a bit of color, add the tomato water, and chicken stock, enough combined to make 3 cups of liquid.
4. Lower the heat to a simmer, and stir frequently, until the rice is mostly cooked, then add liquid or reduce as necessary. When it's to your preferred consistency, turn off the heat, salt to taste.

Duck fat would be good in it. I however have made refried beans without any fat at all, and they turned out really fucking bland. But do as you will I suppose.

[Anonymous No.5419367]

It's not really clear why you don't want to use lard.

Is it because of vegetarianism? In that case just substitute another fat, use Google to decide which.

Is it because you think fat is bad for you? In that case you are a moron, everything you ever cook will taste like shit, and you aren't even being healthy by restricting fat. Use Google to educate yourself.

I've seen a number of Mexican woman around here cooking with bacon fat instead of lard.

>It's not really clear why you don't want to use lard.

Same here.

The one reason I can think of that you didn't list is that maybe he wants to use a lot of fat. I think that refried beans are best with lard, but if someone uses too much lard, the results can be pretty bad.

Perhaps he tried cooking them before and used too much lard and now thinks that lard makes them taste bad.

[Anonymous No.5420646]

why not butter instead?

Thinking fat is essential, I am. You ask @ no lard ("awww....").

Poster sez duck fat (!!).

I say lamb or goat fat is also oh so good.

OK I have not ever shared this protip, but here goes.
Stir in a little melting cheese. It gives beans a silky quality. It is a common thing I see all the women in my family doing. ( Mexican in Mexico by the way )
Also, we reheat them over and over again, and as they get dry and too thick, my mother in law reconstitues them with a splash of whole milk. Dat creamy goodness.

Coconut oil is one of the most tastiest fats out there...are you kidding me? It is also terrible for you. You don't know what you're talking about.

>>5418982
No, it's bad for you.

Coconut oil is controversial. The problem with it is that depending on which side is right, it could be the worst thing to consume after partially hydrogenated oils and straight up poison.

manteca IS lard.

[Anonymous No.5421096]

>>5420724
it has alot of good thinks in it however, but I suppose we don't really know if its safe or not.

I get the organic coconut oil and I use it sometimes, and I'm okay.

A Mexican restaurant owner that made good refried beans told me he used onion and vegetable oil in his.

>good mexican rice recipe
>go to hispanic dish

These are completely different things. Blame the PoCo grocery store chains or something, at least that's where I assume your misconception came from.

Hispanic = relating to Spain/Iberian peninsula
Mexican = relating to Mexico

You're probably one of those faggots who corrects people when they call the United States "America."

American here. I rinse the pintos and boil them with an onion, jalapeno, garlic clove or two and salt. Cook until tender...this makes them sort of all purpose beans. If you want refried, which you do, heat up some fat...lard or bacon preferred... addd some slice onion and arbols, maybe cumin. Stir a bit until fragrant, Sift out or not. Add the cooked beans and a little water. Careful of the splatter from the oil....mash the beans and stir. Mash a bit, stir a bit, repeat until familiar. Season to taste and serve.

We all know that the Americas refer to the continents. Generally speaking when one says "America" it refers to the United States of America. Don't be a daft troll cunt.
