One important thing that is oftened overbooked when cooking beans from the dry state is how freash are they? The fresher the better because older beans can sometimes fail to soften. The best place to get pintos are a bulk bin in a Latin market because they move and are never in the store or on a shelf for very long. Another thing, keep an eye on the water level while simmering the beans. Ideally you want the level to be a half inch to an inch over the beans. Iam a retired culinary arts instructor that taught cooking in the southwest for over 20 years. Theres an art to making good beans…trust me.
I live for onions but my family wont stand for the texture of onions in the beans and no one loves garlic more than I do but I’m trying to be sure I got it right…..did you put “8” garlic cloves in it? I used garlic powder and onion powder in mine yesterday and they turned out really nice. I’ll definitely try cumin next time. I’ve never tried that before. I’m trying to figure out how to reheat them the next day and make sure they don’t thicken up too much. I’m not sure I I can add butter to thin them back out or just add water.
At the end of the video he has you add back the cooked chili and cheese but what kind of cheese? What he says I can't find on the list of ingredients but then again I do not speak or read Spanish very well. Help? Also what happens to the whole chili that you add back, does it just break apart while stirring in the cheese (that I don't know the name of)?
Bad experience last night in Mexican restaurant with a large refried bean order. They have enough salt in their beans to kill a cow and I got really sick in my stomach !! Also the chili rellenos were oily?! I have to say no to El Gallo Bravo Mexican restaurant !! 🥶
You've almost nailed it, but you're working too hard. Before you scoop the beans from the pot? Use your stick blender to process the beans down. Even if you only 'coarsely' chop them, you're still saving work. Personally, I process them down to where I want them and use the mashing tool to work the goodies into the beans as I fry them. So much easier and faster.
All the "don't skip this step"-steps.. I'm totally gonna skip them. I'm not gonna wait for 25 minutes until the onions are done when I can have a similar result in three.
Here's a pro tip Chef. During cooking in water add a hamhock, couple pieces of good bacon or ham bone from a holiday ham. You can also use salt pork of you have it. If you are concerned about hamhock bones, just put the hock in cheese cloth. I've never had that problem. I don't add cumin or Mexican oregano. I will try it though.
No way are yours better than mine. Seriously doubt yours are better than mine. I’m Mexican American and I cook my frijoles in an olla using our family recipe that has been passed down mother to daughter longer than the history of this country.

25 minutes to cook onion in bacon fat? WTAF

I tried your recipes but end up with too dry refried beans. More lard and little bit more cooked would help.

I made this recipe today-AMAZINGLY delicious-Thanks chef Parisi
Can I ask if you put a lid on it to simmer for 1.5 hours or not? Thanks
How would you make these vegan and keep it very flavorful?
Your beans cannot taste better than mine.
I never see any youtube chef's actually taste the food before they add seasoning. Taste before seasoning people…..
Cheapass Goya beans were still grainy after an hour and a half
Your process sounds amazing. I'm going to try your recipe. But I'm curious why you didn't speak of soaking the beans.
No soaking over night before cooking?
How well do these keep in the fridge to use for leftovers? Mine always get all hard and dry/crumbly after keeping in the fridge 🙁
add some beef broth makes a big difference!!!

Chef! I know your a professional and don't normally disagree with you, but mom's is better trust me. Mom's beans are just better.
