Hi Mary,

You can make refried "beans" with
cooked, mashed green beans, or
cooked, mashed green peas.

In either case, drain very well before
mashing, and add back a bit of liquid as
needed for proper consistency.

If the skins don't mash smoothly, use a
food processor or blender (stick or other)
to obtain a smoother consistency.

---

If you like lentils, use them in
the same way (cooked and mashed).

---

By the time you get the mixture
seasoned and spiced, you will
"never know the difference" between
this and regular refried beans.

---

As a matter of fact, since you like
green peas and green beans, you have
a fine solution for all your bean needs.

:)

Deb
