Posting for the ZWT ( Portugal) This recipe is different then the others posted since there is no meat except bacon fat. Times are approximate and I am not sure of the servings

Categories     Beans

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • Soak and boil the beans until they just start to soften (1.5 hours or so).
  • Saute onions and garlic in fat until slightly brown.
  • Add everything else except salt (salt will keep your beans from softening). Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Salt just before serving.
