1 lb dry red beans
2 quarts water
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
4 bay leaves
1 cup chopped sweet
green pepper
3 tablespoons
chopped garlic
3 tablespoons
chopped parsley
2 teaspoons dried
thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon
black pepper
Pick through beans to remove bad beans; rinse
thoroughly. In a 5-quart pot, combine beans,
water, onion, celery, and bay leaves. Bring to
boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook over low heat
for about 1 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Stir
and mash some of the beans against side of the pan
to thicken the mixture.
Add green pepper, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and
black pepper. Cook, uncovered, over low heat until
creamy, about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
Serve over hot, cooked brown rice, if desired.
