Refried Beans

It's easy enough to buy canned but making your own is just as simple and much more delicious!
Yield: about 1 cup (250 ml)
INGREDIENTS
2 garlic cloves, peeled
½ medium onion, peeled and cut into
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
½ jalapeño, seeded and cut into
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
2 tablespoons (30 ml) grapeseed
or vegetable oil, divided
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Put the garlic, onion and
jalapeño in the bowl and process to finely chop.
2. Put 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Once oil
is hot, add the chopped vegetables, tomato paste, a pinch of salt, cumin and cayenne. Sauté
until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the drained beans and cook until hot and to the point
where they and the vegetables are softened a bit more, about 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Transfer all ingredients to the food processor, still fitted with the chopping blade. Pulse until
desired consistency is reached, adding water through the feed tube as you go to achieve a
nice creamy texture. Add salt to taste.
4. Put the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of oil in the same skillet used previously and set over
medium-high heat. Once hot, add the puréed bean mixture to the pan and cook, stirring
frequently, until slightly darkened in colour, no more than 4 minutes. Serve warm.
