FORMATTED BY LISA CRAWFORD
2 tbsp: Vegetable oil,
2 large: Onions, sliced thin
2 cup: Cooked red beans*,
1/4 cup: Bean cooking liquid or water,
1 cup: Cooked white rice*,
Directions:
*NOTES: Beans: Place 1 c of dry red beans, 6 mashed garlic cloves and
enough water to cover in a pressure cooker and cook for 15 to 20
minutes. Do not add salt as it will toughen beans. Rice: Converted
rice works best. It can be made in the rice cooker if you prefer, but
watch the water rice ratio and cooking time; the rice needs to be
firm, not sticky.
Heat the oil in a heavy pot and saute onion until lightly golden. Add
the cooked beans and liquid, Stir gently and continuously over low
heat for about 5 minutes; the beans should remain whole not mashed.
Add the cooked rice and continue to stir for about 10 minutes. Taste
and add a little salt if desired.
