Mashed Beans
- Drain beans over a bowl and reserve the liquid.
- Place beans in a food processor or blender about 1/2 c. at a time, along with a little of their liquid. Process beans until smooth. Repeat with remaining beans
- In a wide, deep saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent (clear). Add garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer.**
- Reduce heat to low and carefully add mashed beans to pan. Slowly add manioc flour, stirring constantly. Continue cooking over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes longer, adding a bit more bean liquid if the mixture is too thick. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
- *Many kinds of beans work well for this recipe, including black beans, kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, and great northern beans.
- **For variety, some cooks like to sauté a chopped green pepper and chopped tomato with the onion. If you add these ingredients, saute the mixture for an extra minute or two before adding the garlic in Step 3.
