Refried Black Soy Beans

Look for those black soy beans at your local health food or natural food grocery-a company called Eden cans them.

What you need:

• 2 15-ounce (420 g) cans black soy beans, rinsed, drained, and mashed
• 1 tablespoon (10 g) finely chopped jalapeno pepper, or to taste
• 5 ounces (150 ml) chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) canola oil
• 2 tablespoons (20 g) finely chopped onion
• '/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Dash of pepper

What you do:

1. In a blender or food processor, puree the black soy beans, jalapeno, and the chicken broth until creamy and smooth. Adjust chicken broth to reach the desired consistency.
2. In a medium saucepan, warm the oil. Add the onion to the oil and saute until just tender but not brown or burnt. Carefully add the bean puree to the hot oil and onion mixture, taking care that it does not pop or spit. Heat the bean mixture through, adding the salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving time or prepare ahead and rewarm right before serving.
