RED BEANS
WITH BELL PEPPERS
Serves 12
1 1/2 lbs small dried red beans
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 medium onions, coarsely chopped
2 1/3 cups chopped red bell peppers
2 1/3 cups chopped green bell peppers
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs plus chopped thyme for garnish
6 small bay leaves
1 1/4 tsp ground allspice
9 cups (or more) water
Place beans in large bowl; add enough cold water to cover. Let beans
soak overnight. Drain beans well.
Heat oil in large pot over medium high heat. Add onions, red peppers,
green peppers and garlic. Saute until onions begin to brown, about 15
min. Stir in thyme sprigs, bay leaves and allspice. Add beans and 9 cups
water. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium low
and simmer uncovered until beans are very tender and mixture is thick,
stirring occasionally and adding more water by 1/2 cupfuls if dry, about
2 hours 15 min. Season to taste with salt & pepper. (Can be made 1 day
ahead. Cool briefly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep
chilled. Rewarm, adding water if dry.)
Transfer beans to large bowl. Sprinkle with chopped thyme and serve.
