    List of Ingredients




    Black Beans and Rice from David


    1 pound dried black beans
    10 cups water
    1 green pepper, diced
    2/3 cup olive oil
    1 large onion, chopped
    garlic salt, to taste
    1 pound bacon, diced
    1 green pepper, diced
    4 teaspoons salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    2 tablespoons olive oil

    White rice
    3 tablespoons oil
    3 cups water
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 pound rice
    1 pint sour cream (optional)

    Recipe





    Wash beans and soak with 1 diced green pepper in water 6-8 hours or
    overnight. (see Note)

    Boil beans in this water for 45 minutes or until tender. Heat olive
    oil in skillet; add onion, green pepper, garlic salt and bacon; cook
    until light brown. Pour mixture into beans; add salt and pepper. Cook
    1 hour longer. Add 2 T olive oil when ready to serve.

    To cook rice, combine water, oil, and salt. Bring to full boil. Add
    rice. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook 30
    minutes or until dine.

    Serve black beans over rice with chopped raw
    onions and a dollop of sour cream. Can be a main dish or an
    accompaniment to a nice smoked pork roast. You could add more liquid and
    make black bean soup.

    NOTE: I don't see the reasoning in adding the diced green pepper to the beans
    while the beans soak over night, I would add this pepper along with the other
    pepper and cook it in the skillet with the oil, seems right to me

    NOTE 2: this would be great if topped with some cider vinegar and maybe
    a little hot pepper & vinegar sauce.
