Beans and rice

by Fred @ 6:46 am. Filed under Recipes/Entrees/Turkey, Recipes/Entrees/Vegetable

This is a very flexible recipe. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Ingredients:

1 16-oz bag dried beans (we’ve used red, black, and 15-bean soup mix)
1 or 2 onions, depending on how much you like onion
3-4 cloves garlic
2 chicken boullion cubes (omit and use the packet of seasoning if you’re doing the 15-bean version)
oregano, basil, and pepper to your tastes
1 bay leaf
2 T tabasco sauce
1 to 1.5 cups uncooked brown rice
1 pound turkey kielbasa (optional)

Directions:

The night before, cover the dried beans with plenty of water and let them soak overnight.
When you’re ready to cook, add or remove water until there’s enough so that the top of the beans is about an inch underwater.
Put the beans on high heat and add boullion or seasoning packet. While you’re waiting for them to boil, chop the onion(s) and mince the garlic.
Add onion, garlic, oregano, basil, pepper, bay leaf, and tabasco to beans
Bring beans to a rolling boil, then turn heat back to medium. Cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
Add the rice. Cook on medium for another 50-60 minutes, stirring and watching the water. You may need to add a little here or there. The goal is for something not too soupy, but not so thick you could sculpt it.
If you’re adding kielbasa, slice it thin and brown it in a pan with a little Pam on medium-high heat. Add it to the beans right before you serve, making sure to stir it in thoroughly.
Don’t eat the bay leaf.
