Note
For a thicker consistency, you can mash some of the beans against the side of the pot during the simmering process.
If you prefer a milder dish, reduce or omit the hot pepper flakes.
This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
