Low-Fat Refried Beans

1. 1

   In a large nonstick skillet, cook the onion in the oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

2. 2

   Add 1/3 of the beans and 1/4 cup of the chicken broth. Coarsely mash the beans with a potato masher or a wooden spoon.

3. 3

   Add another 1/3 of the beans and 1/4 cup broth; mash. Add the remaining beans and another 1/4 cup broth and mash those beans, too.

4. 4

   Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup broth and season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring almost constantly with a wooden spoon until the beans are very thick, 10 to 15 minutes.
