This recipe is excellent for weeknights, weekends or if you’re having a casual party. Classic Red Beans & Rice is also the perfect Fat Tuesday meal. I think it’s best to use dried beans rather than canned beans.
- 1/2 Pound Red Kidney Beans
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2/3 Cup Cooked Ham (Chopped)
- 1/2 Cup Onions (Chopped)
- 1/2 Cup Green Pepper (Chopped)
- 3 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
- 1/4 Cup Tomato Sauce
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
- Sort and wash kidney beans.
- In large-size bowl soak bean in 5 cups water overnight.
- Transfer beans with water into large-size pot. Do NOT drain.
- In large-size skillet add olive oil. Turn heat to medium. Stir in ham, onions, green peppers, and garlic. Cook 8 minutes until tender. Transfer ham mixture to pot of beans. Turn pot to a high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 30 minutes until tender. Add more hot water if necessary.
- Add tomato sauce, kosher salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook 15 minutes longer.
- Remove from heat and serve over hot cooked white rice.
- Serves 4
- "Work With What You Got!"
