No food processor? No problem! This recipe can be made by hand. To mash the beans, you can either use a fork or press them through a strainer with the back of a spoon. Then, add the remaining ingredients and mix well with a spatula.
For a zero-waste version, you can use dried black beans. Dried beans must be soaked for 12 hours, then cooked for 60 to 90 minutes in twice their volume of water. A standard 540-ml can of beans is equivalent to about 250 ml (1 cup) of dried beans.
