Refried White Beans by the Happy Herbivore (they are so good) 3 green onions 1/2 cup vegetable broth 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 carrot, finely chopped 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp tomato paste 1/4 cup diced green chiles (I used the whole little can) 1 can (15 oz) white beans of your choice, undrained (I used Northern White beans) Hot sauce (optional – I used 2 tbsp. of Hellasphere Hot Salsa) Cayenne pepper (optional – I didn’t use any) Slice the green onions, leaving most of the dark part for the end. Saute’ the green onions and garlic in a pan with just enough of the vegetable broth to cover the bottom, until most of the liquid has cooked off (about 2 minutes). Add carrots, cumin, tomato paste, and green chiles, plus enough broth to line the pan with a thin layer of liquid. Saute’ until the carrot pieces are tender and most of the liquid has cooked off (about 2-5 minutes). Add beans with their liquid, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and mash beans well with a fork or potato masher. *You will still want some whole and half beans, not a refried consitency. It will look very soupy, but don’t worry. Heat to high and wait for it to boil, stirring often. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes. Stir the beans every minute or so, taking care to scrape the bottom and lift the beans. Slice the remaining dark green part of the green onions and set aside. After 10 minutes, the beans will have cooked down quite a bit. It may still be soupy, but it will thicken as it cools.
