Refried beans
1 lb of dry pinto beans or black beans, rinsed.
2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
1 onion chopped
1 medium tomato, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt to taste

Place the beans in a large saucepan and cover with an inch of water. Place the saucepan of beans over high heat and bring to a boil. When the beans have come to a boil, drain, and return them to the same pot. Cover the beans with 2 inches of water, and stir in 1 tablespoon of garlic and the tomato. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the beans are very soft. This process takes 3 to 4 hours, adding water as necessary.

Once the beans have cooked, mash them with the remaining tablespoon of garlic, onion, the oil, sea salt to taste, use additional water as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Place over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
