Ingredients:
1 lb bag of Camellia red kidney beans (this brand works best)
1 large onion, chopped into large cubes
2 Tbsp of dried parsley
1 Tbsp of season salt
2 5-inch pieces of fresh celery
1 toe of fresh garlic peeled and cut in half
10-12 bay leaves
1 Tbsp margarine
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 lb seasoning meat (turkey sausage, ham pieces, smoked turkey, etc)
4 cups of cooked white rice
Instructions:
Wash kidney beans well. Add to a large pot and cover beans with water until water is two inches above bean line. Add all other ingredients, except seasoning meat, chopped green onions and rice. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and reduce to a low heat and simmer.
In a separate, covered medium size pot, boil seasoning meat in 4 cups of water for approximately one hour, then cover and let stand.
After beans have been cooking for approximately 2 hours, add seasoning meat and remaining liquid.
Add season salt and continue to simmer this combined mixture for another hour. Now add chopped green onions and additional season salt if desired. Cook for approximately one more hour, or until beans are very soft and a red gravy is produced.
Serve hot over warm, white rice.
