Red Kidney beans by Camellia in LA are far superior beans to anything else on the market. I get them from since I can't find them in my area. Additionally, They stay good for a very long time. Some beans get too old, too hard - these are always perfect. Tonight I found a bag that was previously opened and put in a zip loc that is at least four years old. I cooked them and still top quality. This is so delicious with lard, you don't even need to add meat - hence Poor Holler Style. You'll never eat better - more delicious beans! (Don't be afraid of lard. If you make your own from clean, healthy organic pigs, you have a very natural fat - not a man-made, synthetic fat. Google it, you'll read some things that will surprise you.) Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) bag red kidney beans, cameilla's, preferred brand |
8 cups water |
1/3 cup lard |
1 tablespoon sea salt (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Rinse and pick beans, do not soak.
2. Put beans in large pot and add cold tap water.
3. Cover, bring to a boil on high, reduce heat to a simmer.
4. After 1 hour, add lard and salt.
5. Bring back to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 2 - 3 hours or until done.
6. You may or may not need to add a little water halfway through cooking time. It depends on how much water the been need.
7. TIP: You can put pork fat in your crock pot on low and render the fat off, refrigerate and you have lard. You can also use your fat from a pork butt.
