Traditional refried beans were leftover beans that were mashed and cooked again -- hence refried. Smoked ham hock is available at most grocery store meat counters and butcher shops. Once cooked, it can be used to add flavor to soups and stocks.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried pinto beans, soaked overnight in cold water, rinsed, and drained
1/2 medium white onion
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 smoked ham hock (about 4 ounces)
2 jalapeno chiles, halved lengthwise (optional)
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine soaked beans, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, and ham hock, and jalapenos if desired, in a heavy 6-quart pot, and cover with water by 3 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until beans are tender, adding more water if needed to keep beans covered, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove onion, garlic, and jalapenos from pot; discard. Remove ham hock, and reserve for another use. Ladle out cooking liquid and reserve, until it covers beans by only 1/4 inch. Add salt, paprika, and pepper. Using a potato masher, mash beans into a coarse puree, adding reserved liquid if desired.
