Black bean paste (Pasta de frijol negro) from Oaxaca: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico (page 70) by Bricia Lopez and Javier Cabral

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Taste is great. Not sure if you're supposed to drain beans before blending, cooking water is not measured. Ended up using about half the cooking liquid to blend the puree.

    Lovely soothing paste to smear across your tortilla to start a great taco.
