Here's how it started. Looking in the back of our pantry, I found two bangs of beans. One 2 lb. bag of dry brown beans, and a 1 lb. bag of dry white beans... probably 5 years old. We don't have beans very often, but even then, out of a can.
So I cooked them all in water for a very long time, thinking they'd become soft and like the canned beans. NO. Hard and tasteless. Hmm... how about trying some bullion?... so back into the pot, and another 40 minutes of cooking. Some taste, but still kinda hard .
So here's the question... I thought that putting the beans into the blender, and maybe adding something else after, to make some kind of a moosh... the way my mom made hamburger hash, with mashed potatoes and hamburg.
Nah... best thing is to look on line, for a mashed bean recipe.
Everything I found said grind dry beans into flour, or some refried bean Mexican recipe.
Is the idea so strange that there are no recipes?
