Rich, flavorful and low fat version of the traditional favorite. Ingredients:
1 lb dried red beans |
2 quarts water |
3 tablespoons ham soup base |
3 cups chopped yellow onions |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 bunch green onion, chopped |
2 large garlic cloves, crushed |
1 cup parsley, chopped |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 dash red pepper |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 dash tabasco sauce |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
4 ounces tomato sauce |
seasoning salt |
cooked rice |
Directions:
1. Best when prepared the day before, as these directions instruct.
2. Soak beans overnight in water to cover. Drain. Cook beans with ham soup base slowly for 3 hours. Near end of bean cooking time, saute yellow onions in olive oil until tender.
3. Add remaining ingredients except seasoned salt & rice; cook slowly for 1.5 hours.
4. Cool. Re-heat the next day and simmer for up to 1 hour [may need to add a little extra water if beans are too thick.] Add seasoned salt to taste.
5. For thicker beans, remove a few beans from the pot, mash beans and return to pot.
6. Serve over cooked rice.
