Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs dried red beans
2 cups onions (chopped )
1/2 green onion
1 1/3 tbsp garlic (finely minced )
2 tbsp parsley (fresh finely minced )
1 lb ham (baked , not smoked or country , cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 lb pork (pickled and cut into large chunks. pickled pork is a new orleans popular seasoning meat sold package)
1 ham bone (baked, not smoked or country with some meat on it, sawed into 4-5 inch lengths)
1 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper (freshly ground black )
18 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp red pepper (crushed )
2 bay leaves (whole broken into quarters )
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp dried basil
2 quarts water (cold, approximately )
2 cups rice (long grain)
4 cups water
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter ( salted)

Directions:

Drain the soaked beans in a colander and put them, along with all the other ingredients, into a heavy 8-10 quart pot or kettle, adding just enough of the cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat then lower the heat and simmer on low heat for 2 1/3 to 3 hours, or until the beans are teder and a thick natural gravy has formed,
Add about 1 cup of water toward the end of cooking if the mixture appears too dry. During cooking, stir frequently and scrape down the sides and across the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent scorching. (If yu use a heavy pot and very low heat- just high enough to keep the barest simmer going- you should have no problem with beans sticking to the pot during cooking . Stir the entire mixture thoroughly just once about every half hour.
When the beans are cooked, turn off the heat.
To serve ladle about 1 1/2 Celsius of beans, with meat and ravy, over a portion (about 2/3 cup) of boiled rice.
