FARM Refried Heirloom Soybeans, Salsa Macha, Feta, Crispy Onions

Salsa Macha: Heat ¾ cup oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add garlic and fry until golden brown. Add the spices and chiles and toast until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, add 2 teaspoons of the salt, the vinegar, and the brown sugar. Cool 15 – 20 minutes. Process in a blender until smooth.

Crispy Onions: Heat oil in a 5-quart pot to 300° F. Season onions with salt and toss with just enough cornstarch to coat. If onions clump together, add more cornstarch and toss to coat again. Add onions to the oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove onions from oil, drain on paper towels, and season with salt to taste.

Refried Heirloom Soybeans: Heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a sauté pan until shimmering, add garlic and shallots, and cook until shallots are translucent. Add beans, lemon juice, and zest, and cook until warm. Transfer pan contents to a food processor and process until smooth. Adjust consistency with the stock until beans have a smooth texture. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve with salsa macha, feta, and fried onions.
