Recipe notes

Cook’s Notes: Bean Purée: Rinse and drain canned beans or use cooked beans. In a food processor, add ¼ cup (60 ml) hot water for every 1 cup (250 ml) cooked beans. Purée until the mixture is smooth. Add more water, if necessary, by the spoonful to reach consistency similar to canned pumpkin or for about 5 minutes. Scrape the bowl as needed. Unused purée can be frozen and kept for several months in the freezer.
