Vegetable Luncheon Recipe

Instructions Soak the beans in cold water overnight. Drain and cook in boiling water slowly for about four hours. A hambone or a piece of bacon cooked with them adds to the flavor. Drain and add chopped carrots, pepper, thinly sliced onion and tomatoes. Simmer until tender. Boil rice separately in salted water, drain and add to the vegetables. (The rice water should be saved to use in soups or gravies.) Garnish with sautéed green peppers and mushrooms.
