Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Minutes
Ready In: 12 Minutes
Servings: 4
Times are approximate and I am not sure of the servings.
Ingredients:
1 cup dried red kidney beans
3 onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup bacon fat
6 small potatoes, diced
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste
2 quarts water
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon allspice
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Soak and boil the beans until they just start to soften (1.5 hours or so).
2. Saute onions and garlic in fat until slightly brown.
3. Add everything else except salt (salt will keep your beans from softening). Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
4. Salt just before serving.
