   1      pound         red kidney beans -- dried
     1/2  pound         salt pork
   1      whole         onion -- chopped
   2      cloves        garlic -- chopped
     1/4  cup           celery -- chopped
   1      quart         ham or beef stock
     1/2  teaspoon      Tabasco sauce

   3      cups          rice

     Soak beans in water overnight. Drain. In a Dutch oven, brown salt pork.
Add onions, garlic, and celery and saute for 3 minutes. Add beans, stock,
Tabasco sauce, salt, and herbs. Simmer 3 hours or until beans are tender. Add
water when necessary during cooking; water should barely cover beans at end
of cooking. Remove 1 cup beans and mash to paste. Add mashed bean paste back
to beans; stir until liquid is thickened. Serve over hot rice.
