What do you flavor it with, if you do?
So I put in a little salt, curry to taste and some sugar to sweeten the whole lot. Then at the end I pureed it with some sour cream.
Oh gosh that sounds good (I’m really hungry right now, so even carrots sound palatable). When I cook carrots I put a bit of ginger on them–not over much–it perks them up. I do love curry…and I’d probably eat most anything that had sour cream in it. And I, too, add a bit of sugar to some soups–and my spaghetti sauce. I have a feeling I’ll surrender to the temptation to order a pizza shortly 🙂
We will probably have pizza at least one day this weekend.
Now I’m thinking Chicken Enchiladas…
Oooo. Enchiladas. I will have to try this.
They didn’t turn out as great as I’d hoped…maybe my taste buds are ageing along with the rest of me.
Not spicy enough?
Not sure….it was good the first night, but when I reheated them the next, not so good. I usually make my own refried beans and do bean and cheese burritos–I like those better, they never fail and are healthy.
How do you make refried beans?
Oh it’s too easy, a delish staple–you can have them with anything, in my opinion. I just quick soak beans–pinto usually (but you can use black, red, mix, whatever you like or have on hand)–then I cook them with a generous amount of bacon fat I collect and keep in the fridge. You don’t want to put too much water in the pot for the cooking, a moderate amount (once they start to boil, turn them down to cook kinda slow) and you just keep an eye on them. When they’re pretty soft, I use a pastry blender to moosh up most of them, leaving a few whole. I add garlic powder, maybe a little salt or seasoning salt (Cajun or Creole blend), and depending on what dish I’m making I might add some chili powder. Very versatile–I make them into burritos often, they’re a more or less healthy “comfort food”.
I am definitely trying this!
You’ll LOVE it!
The bacon drippings are what give the beans such wonderful flavor! And it’s so easy to just add them to a plastic container (used sour cream ones work well) each time you cook bacon, and keep it in the back of the fridge where it probably never goes stale 🙂 I don’t cook bacon frequently, but I’ve yet to run out of the drippings when I need it. I’ll be eager to hear how your refried beans turn out.
I have a package of bacon to use up now. I will let you know.
Great!
Lovely harvest! Those look like they’re going to taste delicious!
They made an amazing soup.
