Frejol Criollo/ Peruvian Beans

These beans are served in simple restaurant offerings as beans and rice dish and quite delicious.
I have used chorizo or pork sausage with it but you can use bacon as well.

1/2 lb.cooked beans like white beans or pink beans
1/2 lb. pork sausage
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 small onion finely chopped
2 tbsp. aji amarillo
salt and black pepper to taste
3 tbsp. vegetable oil

In a saute pan, heat oil
add the garlic, onions and aji amarillo
cook until translucent and limp
add the sausage and cook for about 8 mins.
add the beans and cover on low heat for about 15 mins.
by now the beans should be soft.
mash half the beans, so there is a mixture of whole and mashed beans.

To serve squeeze some lime and drizzle some olive oil.

Enjoy
