In an interview with Tasting Table, private chef and media personality Ronaldo Linares makes a compelling argument for using dried beans to make refried beans. While there's no way to tell how old ...

Refried beans are the fatty ... However, feel free to swap with your favorite fresh or dry pepper. Keep it whole so that it imbues its flavor, and not its spiciness, to the beans.

To make the refried beans, place the beans in a large saucepan ... in a saucepan over a medium heat and sweat the onion, garlic, dried epazote, or oregano, and chilli until very soft.

Make a refried bean mix by gently cooking onion, handful chopped coriander stems, garlic crushed with salt, ground cumin, mixed dried herbs (or use a fresh herb bundle) in olive oil until soft.
