This is an extraordinary and filling dish. This is just from memory. I've never before written it down. I may edit it as I remember things. We never get tired of beans because there are just so many ways to fix them!
Ingredients
- 1 bag red beans (dry) You can use kidney beans but I prefer just red beans or pink beans. The flavor is lighter. [canned will work as well and time will be minuscule in comparison.] shopping list
- Enough water for the beans. See package instructions shopping list
- Cook on stove or slow cooker or a pressure cooker. Any means will work. shopping list
- Make enough rice for your family or company. I've used brown rice and white rice. It's up to you. shopping list
- 1 onion shopping list
- 1 bell pepper shopping list
- 1 tbsp liquid smoke shopping list
- I like ground spices best. No stems or hard pieces that way! shopping list
- a few bay leaves to taste shopping list
- oregano to taste shopping list
- basil to taste shopping list
- summer savory to taste shopping list
- thyme very small amount shopping list
- cayenne or other hot pepper flavor you appreciate to taste. Some like it hot! shopping list
- You may use any green spices you like with beans. I'd avoid cumin and chili powder until after you've tried this. You may add them but it will alter the flavor of the beans. shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- If using dry beans soak for several hours or overnite
- Toward the end of cooking time, when the beans are nearly done, chop up the onion and the bell pepper and add your spices and your liquid smoke. The liquid smoke is a very vital ingredient. It's easy to find. I use hickory flavor. Once the beans are done and the vegetables are cooked, you may begin to smash the beans. This way, even the picky eaters aren't bothered. No chunks. Then you pour it over a hot bed of rice. I like to add Louisiana Hot Sauce over the top. My husband likes Tabasco. My son likes Picante Sauce. Your choice. Delicious!
