Ingredients List
- -------------------------FORMATTED BY LISA CRAWFORD-------------------------
- 2 tb Vegetable oil
- 2 lg Onions; sliced thin
- 2 c Cooked red beans*
- 1/4 c Bean cooking liquid or water
- 1 c Cooked white rice*
Directions
*NOTES:
Beans: Place 1 c of dry red beans, 6 mashed garlic
cloves and enough water to cover in a pressure cooker
and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not add salt as it
will toughen beans. Rice: Converted rice works best.
It can be made in the rice cooker if you prefer, but
watch the water rice ratio and cooking time; the rice
needs to be firm, not sticky.
Heat the oil in a heavy pot and saute onion until
lightly golden. Add the cooked beans and liquid,
Stir gently and continuously over low heat for about 5
minutes; the beans should remain whole not mashed. Add
the cooked rice and continue to stir for about 10
minutes. Taste and add a little salt if desired.
