BBQ Style Beans

This is a good recipe to share at a potluck, or a main dish with some cornbread or greens as sides.

Cooked Red Kidney Beans (2 cups uncooked)
1 onion diced
2-3 cloves garlic minced
cooking oil
tomato paste
roasted red pepper sliced
mustard powder
brown sugar
soy sauce
ume vinegar (or just use salt)

To cook:
Heat a saute pan big enough to hold your beans. Add oil, add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent.

While onion is cooking measure into a glass: 1 part liquid salt (ume
vinegar and soy sauce enough to salt your beans), 1 part tomato paste, 1 part water. Stir together. Add in 1 teaspoon mustard powder (if very potent - less), 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar. Dissolve in the glass of liquid.

Add beans to onion. Add garlic. Add red peppers. Add liquid. Let simmer for up to 10
minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning and liquid as it cooks, to taste.
