Mexican food in Saarbruecken is difficult to find. So Rose asked for refries when I was visiting her this week. Here’s my recipe. She liked them so much I made them twice.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbs. oil (olive oil is what I used this time)
- 2 small or 1 large onion
- 2 large cloves of garlic
- 4 cups of cooked and drained pinto beans (or if you’re in Germany and can’t find pinto beans then use borlotti / cranberry beans)
- 3 Tbs. chili powder, preferably salt free
- 1 Tbs. cumin
- 1 – 2 cups of cooking liquid from the beans
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp. salt (could need more or less, depending on how salty your beans are)
Instructions:
- Heat cast iron skillet to medium. Add the oil. When oil is hot add the onions. Saute for 2 minutes and add the garlic. Saute another minute.
- Add beans, chili powder, and cumin. When hot mash with a potato masher. Don’t mash the beans 100% though. A little texture is nice.
- Add oregano, parsley, salt, and 1 cup of bean juice. Heat until just beginning to bubble, then turn off heat. If you want them wetter add more bean juice.
