Beans and Rice
2 cans of red kidney beans rinsed well in a colander
2 large onions finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves finely chopped
2 tsp oil
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp Tuscan herbs
2 bay leaves
pinch of oregano
pinch of thyme
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt to taste
water
Heat the oil in a medium size pan. Saute the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add all the spices and saute for two more minutes. Then add the beans and enough water to barely cover everything. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for ten minutes. Use a potato masher to partially mash the beans. Add the tomato sauce and salt and simmer for 5-10 more minutes. Take bay leaves out and serve over instant brown rice.
Next time I gotta double the recipe ’cause this baby was soooo good, we wished we had seconds!
