-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound dried red beans -- (soaked overnight)

1 large yellow onion -- diced

1 1/2 celery stalks -- diced

4 garlic cloves -- finely chopped or

minced

2 bay leaves

3/4 cup olive oil

3 cups water -- (3 to 4)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 cups cooked rice -- (2 to 3)

 

Drain the beans, discarding the water, and set them aside in a pot.

 

Place the onion, celery, garlic and bay leaves in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle

the olive oil over them and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least

30 minutes.

 

Pour the olive oil and vegetables over the beans and let sit at room temperature

for 10 to 15 minutes. Add enough of the water to cover the beans and bring to a

boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, add the salt and pepper, cover, and cook until

the beans are tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Remove the bay leaves and serve the

hot beans over the rice.
