Red Beans & Rice (Mickler)
I bake all the time, but I don't like to eat the cookies when they're done. I just like the dough. |

Tarragon: Only the leaves are used of the tarragon plant which are available either fresh or dried. A favorite in French foods, tarragon’s aromatic, licorice-like flavor makes a great addition to chicken, fish, eggs, butter, vinegars, and soups. |

I just made no-fat refried beans last night completely by accident.
I was making this recipe and discovered it in the process.
Soak beans overnight if possible. Drain water and add beans to a
large 8- or 10-quart pot. Then add enough of the cold water to cover
the beans. Add chopped yellow onions and garlic and bring to a boil.
Cook for one hour and add all the other things and more water if
necessary.
Simmer (slight bubbling action) for 2 more hours or until the beans
are soft. Then remove 2 cups of cooked beans without juice and mash
very good. Then return the mashed up beans to the pot and stir into
the mixture. This makes a creamy, thicker gravy. If the beans are
too dry, add enough water to make them like you like them. Good over
boiled rice.
Serves 8.
If you're in New Orleans on a Monday, this is the only thing you can

When I got to the point where you take the two cups beans out and
mash 'em, I put them in the food processor to puree. They came out
smelling and tasting just like refried beans. The texture was a tad
thin, but that could be remedied easily. You could probably even
"re- fry" them in a non-stick skillet to reduce the water content. I
used skin-on ham hocks to make this batch of beans, but you could
easily leave that out and still come up with something close to what
you want, I think.
