Sorry it has been a while since I posted a recipe - but here is one from my DH. As you probably know, he served his mission in Guatemala, and their diet consisted mainly of Black Beans and Rice. I had always tried to make them for him, and thought they were fine - until we went there. Holy Crap - the beans there were so much better than the ones I try to make at home. So over the years I have worked on improving them - and yes, they've gotten better. While I was sick a few weeks ago, and dh was making the meals, he made his favorite dish - and the beans were sooo good (and so easy!) that I had to tell you how he made them.
Black Beans {Refried - Guatemala style}
1 Can Black Beans
1/4 Onion, chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic
Salt & Pepper
Oil
Smash up the beans - with a fork, or potato masher. Heat oil in skillet, saute onion and garlic until tender.
Add the beans, and Salt & Pepper. Cook until the liquid starts to evaporate. Turn the heat down and simmer until they are as thick as you want them.
We like them with Rice and Chicken.
