Puré de Pallares Mashed White Beans

Puré de Pallares Mashed White BeansWe have already experienced two hurricanes in Houston; I appreciate having an ever-stocked and full pantry, I take something and buys it right away, so I avoid having to go to the supermarket just before the storms. I always have an assortment of canned beans to make this comforting Puré de Pallares.

My favorite day of the week when I was a girl was the day after the soup of beans or lentils or chickpeas when they reappear as a cream or mashed is still one of my favorite ways to enjoy legumes in general. 

Pallares are a kind of butter bean or lima bean or white bean popular in Perú and Chile. Commonly use for side dishes and desserts in Perú.

Notes

To cook the pallares: On a pot, measure 2 cups of dried Pallares with cold water, at least 4 fingers over the beans, salt, a bay leave. Cook on high heat until boiling, lower the heat to medium, keep cooking on a slow boil. Taste after 20 minutes, keep cooking until the beans are soft and plump. Drain and store.
