Recipe by Chris Morocco
Most store-bought lard (the traditional fat in refried beans) is nearly flavorless, unlike chicken fat, which is delicious and readily available.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces slab bacon, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 dried chile de árbol, seeds removed, crushed, or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 cups dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 1/3 cup schmaltz (chicken fat)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or more)
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat, turning often, until browned and lightly crisped, 8 –10 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 8 –10 minutes. Add chile de árbol and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beans and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed to keep beans just covered, until beans are tender and beginning to fall apart, 1 1/2 –2 hours. Season with salt and pepper and let sit 30 minutes to absorb seasoning.
- Heat schmaltz in a pot or skillet over medium. Add beans and their cooking liquid and cook, mashing with a potato masher, until beans are nearly smooth and very thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and more vinegar, if desired. Thin with water if needed to loosen just before serving.
