Refried Lentils

1. 1

   In a sauce pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the cumin and oregano then the beans. Cover with 3 1/2 cups of water.

2. 2

   Bring the lentils to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer them until they are very tender. Drain them in a colander.

3. 3

   Let them cool a bit. Then place them in the bowl of a food processor and season them with salt and pepper. Puree them to your desired consistency. I personally like little chunks of bean instead of a perfect puree. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

4. 4

   Heat a saute pan over medium high. Add the remaining olive oil and saute the beans adding water if necessary to thin them. Saute until hot.

5. 5

   Serve topped with chopped shallot, goat cheese and cilantro.
