8 Servings
1 pound dried red kidney beans
water
1 ham bone
8 ounces chopped
fresh low-fat ham
1 chopped onion
2 stalks celery, with leaves, chopped
2
teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1 1/3 cups uncooked rice
Rinse and pick over
beans. Place beans and 4 cups water in a glass bowl and soak overnight. Drain and
rinse beans, then place in a large heavy pan, stockpot or Dutch oven. Add 4 cups
fresh water and remaining ingredients, except rice. Bring to a boil over medium-high
heat. Reduce heat and simmer 3 hours, or until beans are tender. Add water as necessary
during cooking. Water should barely cover beans at end of cooking time. Prepare rice
according to package instructions, omitting salt and margarine. Remove ham bone and
1 cup of beans from mixture. Place the reserved cup of beans in a blender or the
work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until beans are
mashed to a paste. Return mashed beans to mixture in pan. Cut meat from ham bone
and return to beans. Stir mixture until thickened. Divide rice equally into eight
individual bowls and top with equal amounts of bean mixture.
