Aaron'S Amazing Simple Beans

1. 1

   Place kidney beans into a large container and cover with about 1 quart water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain.

2. 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. 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. 4

   Remove cover from stockpot and simmer beans until beans are thickened and water is evaporated, about 15 minutes more.
