Caraotas Refritas - Venezuela traditional dish

🧂 食材

3 cups Cooked black beans(Canned or home-cooked. If using canned, drain and rinse, reserving about 1/2 cup of the liquid.)
3 tablespoons Vegetable oil or lard(Lard will provide a more traditional flavor.)
2 cloves Garlic(Minced or finely chopped.)
1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
to taste Salt(Optional, especially if beans are already salted.)
1/4 to 1/2 cup Reserved bean liquid or water(To adjust consistency.)

👨‍🍳 步驟

1
Heat the oil or lard in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat (approximately 175°C / 350°F). Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. The garlic should be golden, not brown.
⏱️ 3 minutes
2
Add the cooked black beans to the skillet. If you are using canned beans, include about 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid. If using home-cooked beans, add a splash of their cooking liquid or water. Stir to combine with the garlic and oil.
⏱️ 2 minutes
3
Using a potato masher or the back of a sturdy spoon, begin to mash the beans against the side of the skillet. Continue to cook and mash the beans for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add more reserved liquid or water, a tablespoon at a time, as needed to achieve a creamy, thick consistency. The beans should start to thicken and become paste-like.
⏱️ 15 minutes
4
Stir in the ground cumin and salt (if using). Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the beans are well-combined with the seasonings and have reached your desired creamy texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The final consistency should be thick and spreadable, not watery.
