Mashed Black Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large white onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup water, may need up to 1 cup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and cook until golden, stirring often, about 7 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.
Add beans and mash coarsely with a potato masher, mashing in onion and and garlic at the same time.
Thin beans with enough water to give them a soft consistency that barely holds it shape in a spoon.
Season with salt.
Cover and keep warm until serving.
