Easy enough! Sort the beans for stones and skins, rinse well and soak over night in cold Water. The next morning, remove any floaters and rinse the beans well. In the bottom of a pot, fry up some chopped bacon, chopped garlic and diced onion onions. Pour in the drained beans and fill pot with half water, half chicken stock. Simmer beans until tender. (If you have a ham bone, throw that in there for sure!) I add seasonings, but I go by sight, not by measurements. A generous amount of cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder goes in the pot once the water is hot enough to dissolve it all. I adjust the spices according to the taste of the broth, so I am no help there. I do skim the fat off the top of the soup as it cooks out. We usually eat half the beans as soup and the other half I drain completely and mash. I fry them up in a bit of oil, with cheese, and you'll have excellent refried beans. Add sour cream, salsa verde, avocado... YUM! Omg! I'm so gonna make these when I can eat solids again. Sounds low fat and high flava! HAPPY LOSING, NWA
