Red Beans And Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 ham bone
1 lb. dried red beans
1/2 lb. ham, cubed
1 large onion or more, chopped
1 c. chopped green onions (tops and bottoms)
1/4 c. chopped bell peppers
1/4 c. chopped parsley
2 bay leaves
1/4 c. butter
salt
cayenne pepper

Preparation

Addition of a ham bone is the most important donation to the pot, for it adds real color and flavor not possible to achieve otherwise.
The next most important thing is to buy small, dark red beans, not kidney beans.
However, it is possible to substitute kidney beans.
Just don't expect to get quite the true flavor.
