Doing a mini IDave low carb thang and have soaked a load of pinto and adzuki beans over night and now want to cook the little blighters. Anyone got any good re-fried bean recipe's?

This one is from the rather excellent (but American, hence cups) Moosewood Cookbook:

2 cups dry beans, soaked
2-3 tbs olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
5 or 6 cloves garlic (I usually reduce this to 2)
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 chopped green pepper
black pepper

Cook the beans. Heat the olive oil and fry the onion, half the garlic, cumin and salt until onions are soft. Add the pepper and fry another 5 minutes; add remaining garlic. Turn heat to low and add the beans, mix well then mash. Cook a few minutes more.
Eat, preferably with a really good Nachos beer-cheese sauce.

Fry some garlic and onion in a bit of olive oil.

Mash up the cooked beans a fair bit, but not completely and mix with some liquid (stock or water)

Stir into onion/garlic mix.

Sometimes I don't bother with the onion and just make a garlic version.
Yumm

soaked then cooked (as per the pack) Pinto Beans
onions
Garlic
chilli powder
cumin
paprika
oregano
black pepper
tomato puree
chicken stock
1 chorizo ring (if you're not a veggie)

Get the onion on to soften, use a big wok or similar
Chop the chorizo up into little cubes, get that and the paprika in next to give everything a bit of colour. Cooked but not burnt.
Mash (or better use a handheld blender, it only takes a couple of buzzes) the beans.
Get the tom puree in to cook.
Then the rest, using stock to moisten the consistency. It will be "stiffer" after cooling and the next day so you want it just on the wetter side of perfect.

Keeps well, but can be frozen as portions.
Serve with eggs, grilled toms, spinach.

Use bacon fat or lard for flavour. Don't totally blitz the beans for texture. Don't be shy with the frying temperature - you want the sugars in the beans to caramelise a bit.

2 cloves of garlic fried off
200g pre soaked/boiled pinto and adzuki beans
dash of cumin
dash of parika
dash of hot chilli powder

Feeling stuffed now!
