Red Beans and Rice #08
Ingredients List
- 1/2 c Red kidney beans; dried
- 2 c Water
- 1/2 c Onion; chopped
- 1/4 c Green bell pepper; chopped
- 1/4 c Green onion; chopped
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1/4 ts Thyme
- 1 Clove garlic; minced
- 1/8 ts Black pepper; freshly ground
- 3 oz Ham; cut into 1/2" cubes
- 1 c White rice; hot, cooked, no
- -salt or fat added
Directions
This is a fairly standard recipe for this cajun staple. It is easy to vary
and hard to get wrong.
Put all the ingredients except the rice in a saucepan and simmer, covered,
for 1 1/2 hours or until the beans are tender and the sauce is thick. Spoon
a half cup of the rice onto each plate and ladle the Red Beans and turkey
ham over or around the rice.
You may want to add the turkey ham during the last 30 minutes of cooking,
so that it doesn't become too tender and fall apart. If you want fairly
firm beans but thick gravy, mash a half cup of the cooked beans and stir
them back into the pot.
