Better than refried beans!, November 21, 2006 - 06:56 PM
Reviewer: Anonymous from Mount Vernon, WA USA
This recipe is so good. I don't think i'll ever go back to refried beans again. I will say it was a tiny bit dry for my liking but add a little water and I was good. This recipe was easy to make. I altered it a little bit. I used peanut oil instead of olive, already minced garlic, lemon juice instead of lime, and ground coriander that wasn't fresh. I will say it's not that visually appealing but it makes up for it in taste. Instead of whisking the lentils until they are smooth, use a hand mixer.
