Refried Beans With Chorizo
- 3 cups dried pinto beans rinsed
- kosher salt to taste
- 6 ounces fresh chorizo casings removed
- 1 cup lard
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cilantro minced
- 1. Put beans and 12 cups water into an 8-qt. pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, season with salt; cook, adding more water if necessary, until beans are very tender, 2-2 1/2 hours. Drain beans, reserving 3 cups cooking liquid.
- 2. Heat a 6-qt. pot over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until crisp, 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove half the chorizo; transfer to a plate and set aside. Add lard and let melt. Add beans; mash vigorously. Add 2 cups reserved cooking liquid; cook, stirring often, until hot, 3-5 minutes. (Stir in more liquid, if you like.) Season beans with salt and pepper and serve with reserved chorizo and cilantro.
