Guatemalan Refried Beans

  • 2 Lbs dry black beans
  • 1 Head of Garlic
  • Salt to taste

Put all ingredients in a pressure cooker and cover with water about 4 inches above the beans. Cook until the pressure cooker starts making the whistling sound, then an additional 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Open and check to make sure the beans are completely cooked, they should be nice and soft. Remove head of garlic from beans and discard. Blend about 2 cups of the beans with some of the bean juice from the pressure cooker, set aside. On a frying pan fry some onion until golden brown and add to the blended beans. Cook and stir until the beans begin to get thicker. Cook for as long or as little for a consistency to your liking.
