Perfect Fat Free Refried Beans

   Rinse and sort beans.

2. 2

   Soak beans in the 6 cups water for 24 hours. Do not discard this water.

3. 3

   Bring to a strong simmer. cover and continue strong simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender.

4. 4

   Add salt at this point only. Never before or while cooking. Remove epazote and discard. Keep all cooking liquid.

5. 5

   Blend with food processor or stick blender if you are truly cool. I like to leave some chunks for texture. I also recommend using all of the cooking liquid. This is where the flavour lives. The beans may initially be quite thin but will thicken up.
