Mashed beans

A childhood staple, but season differently in my home country: mashed, seasoned beans are nutritious and filling, and burst with vegetarian protein. Served with rice, it an incredibly comfort food.

Ingredients
2 cans black beans
1/3 cup chopped red onion
3 cloves garlic
pinch of cayenne
pinch of paprika
salt
0.5 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup broth

Preparation
Drain the beans. Heat the oil in a small pot. Add the minced onions and sautee. Add the crushed garlic and stir in with the spices. 

Add the black beans and a small amount of broth. Simmer to heat for 10 minutes. Mash the beans to desired smoothness. Serve with rice or a tortilla.
