Steps

1

On medium heat, heat up oil in a pot. Turn heat to low and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add onions and sauté until tender and translucent
2

Stir in the beans and add stock. Turn heat to medium and let simmer. Once simmering, stir in the spices and cook for 5 - 10 minutes
3

Use a potato masher to mash the beans to a desired consistency. You mash them up to a purée or with a few chunky bits. Mix thoroughly

Cook down a little more until thickened. Feel free to add more stock if too dried
