New Orleans Red Beans
List of Ingredients
1 lb dry red beans
3 tbsp chopped garlic
2 quarts water
3 tbsp chopped parsley
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 tsp dried thyme, crushed
1 cup chopped celery
1 tsp salt
4 bay leaves
1 tsp black pepper

Pick through beans to remove bad beans; rinse thoroughly. In a 5- quart pot combine beans, water, onion, celery, and bay leaves. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook over low heat, for about 1 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Stir and mash beans against side of pan.
Add green pepper, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook, uncovered, over low heat until creamy, about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Serve over hot cooked brown rice, if desired.
