Aaron's Amazing Simple Beans

Aaron's Amazing Simple Beans
  • 1 pound dried red kidney beans, rinsed
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1 Moroccan-style preserved lemon, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small red chile pepper, halved lengthwise
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon anise seed


  1. Place kidney beans into a large container and cover with about 1 quart water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
  2. Combine beans, 1 quart water, preserved lemon, sugar, black pepper, red chile pepper, bay leaf, garlic powder, and anise seed in a stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover stockpot, and simmer for 1 hour.
  3. Remove lemon, bay leaf, and red chile pepper from bean mixture. Mash about 10% of the beans against the sides of the stockpot using the back of a spoon. Cover stockpot and simmer for 45 minutes more.
  4. Remove cover from stockpot and simmer beans until beans are thickened and water is evaporated, about 15 minutes more.
