Refried Beans

Bourbon Tango

1 lb. Pinto Beans

1 Ham hock

3 cloves Garlic, chopped

1 Onion, diced

1 Jalapeno, scored

1 tsp. Cumin

Rinse the beans & remove floating beans

Lightly fry the ham hock in a small amount of olive oil

Add onion and garlic until fragrant

Add beans, pepper, and enough water to cover the beans by 2 to 3 inches (if too much water is boiled off, just add more)

When the beans are soft and the meat is coming off the bone of the ham hock, they're done.

Remove the pepper and ham hock

Remove the excess water and reserve in case some is needed to moisten during mashing.

Use a slotted spoon to stir while it's cooking to start the mashing process. Once done cooking, use a potato masher to mash until the beans come to the desired consistency.

Add Cumin and salt to taste.
