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