Popeye's Red Beans & Rice
This is a copycat recipe for my favorite fast-food side dish...Unbelievably simple to make and quick enough to satisfy my regular cravings! Serves 4
Ingredients: BEANS 30 oz canned red kidney beans (not drained) 1 1/2 tsp white pepper 1/4 tsp paprika 4 Tbsp butter 1/4 tsp garlic powder
RICE 1 1/2 cups regular long grain white rice 3 cups water 2 Tbsp butter 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Method: Pour the beans with their liquid into a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium. Add the
pepper, paprika, butter and garlic powder. When the beans begin to boil, use a fork to mash some
of them against the side of the pan. Try to mash up at least half. Stir the mixture constantly.
In about 20 minutes, the beans will reach the consistency of refried beans. Prepare the rice,
using the butter and garlic salt to season instead of per package directions. To serve, pour 1/2
cup of beans into a serving bowl and using an ice- cream scoop, scoop the same amount of rice on top of the beans.
