List of Ingredients
One bag of red kidney beans
1 cup of cubed ham for seasoning
1 large white onion
1 medium bell pepper
5 large toes of garlic
5 bay leaves,
pinch of cayenne pepper.
Recipe
In a fairly large pot cover beans with water, about 1 inch over beans. In a skillet lightly brown ham to lock in juices. Meanwhile bring beans to a rapid boil. Once water is boiling add all ingredients into pot and continue to boil at a rapid boil for at least 15-20 minutes, then add more water and cook on low fire for at least 3-4 hours are until beans are nice and tender.(If water evaporates, add more.) If you smash the beans when starting to tender you will get a thicker gravy.
To prepare Brown Rice, always add 2 3/4 cups of water to 1 cup rice. Bring water to boil, add rice and boil until water is almost completely dissolved. Once you reach this point, lower fire, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from fire uncover and fluff with fork allow rice to stand for 5 more minutes, cover with beans and serve.
