Ingredients:

Serving

4 1/3 cups water, divided
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 tsp minced garlic
30 oz red kidney beans
6 oz bacon, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tbsp finely chopped celery leaves
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1/4-1/2 tsp chipotle peppers or 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

Combine 3 1/3 cups water, rice, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
Cover and cook until water is absorbed, about 45 minutes.
About 10 minutes before rice is ready, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is lightly colored and tender (about 3 minutes).
Place 1 cup beans in a small bowl and mash.
Add the mashed beans and the whole beans, the remaining 1 cup of water, bacon, celery, celery leaves, bell pepper, and chipotle/cayenne to the skillet.
Simmer, stirring occasionally until the liquid has thickened into a gravy and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Serve spooned over rice.
