Refried Lentils
A healthy and satisfying alternative to traditional "refried beans"
In a large pot bring chicken stock and water to a boil. Add lentils, cover with a tight fitting lid, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until they are tender for 45-50 Minutes.
When lentils are tender remove from heat and add olive oil. Use an immersion blender to puree the lentils or pour into a regular blender and blend until smooth. If using a blender, make sure to leave lid cracked to allow heat to escape (this is important, trust me).
Enjoy within 7 days for best freshness.
