Preparation
-
Rinse dried beans, pour them into a heat proof bowl and cover with boiling water (you want the water to be about 3” above the beans as they will expand). Allow to soak for 2-3 hours. Drain and save the soaking liquid.
-
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add oil and cook for a minute or two until warm. Add onion, garlic and jalapeno and saute until translucent. Add beans and stir to combine. Add stock and soaking liquid. Bring to a boil (increase heat to medium high if needed) and then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover and allow to cook until there is very little liquid (this usually takes about two hours).
-
Remove from heat and stir in crème fraîche. Puree with an immersion blender to desired consistency. Alternatively if you do not have an immersion blender, you can mash with a potato masher or allow to cool for about 10 minutes and add to a blender. Taste and add more salt if needed.

This is a great side dish, but also delicious on warmed tortillas with some cheese, cilantro and a little sour cream.
