Red Beans And Rice On Monday

Type: Rice
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb 454g / 16ozDried red beans - picked over
8 cups 1896mlCold water
1/2 lb 227g / 8ozLean salt pork, bacon, or ham - diced
1 tablespoon 15mlOlive oil
1 cup 62g / 2.2ozChopped onion
1   Garlic clove - peeled, minced
2 tablespoons 30mlChopped fresh parsley
3/4 teaspoon 3.8mlSalt
1 1/2 teaspoons 7.5mlTabasco pepper sauce
4 cups 640g / 22ozHot cooked rice

Recipe Instructions

In a large saucepan combine the dried beans and the water, cover and soak overnight. Add the pork, bacon, or ham and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet heat the oil and saute the onion and garlic for three minutes or until golden. Add the mixture to the beans along with the parsley, salt, and Tabasco brand Pepper Sauce.

Cover and simmer 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours longer, or until the beans are tender enough to mash one easily with a fork. Add hot water as needed to keep the beans covered, and stir occasionally. When the beans are finished they will have soaked up most of the liquid. Serve over hot cooked rice.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
