CREOLE RED BEANS AND RICE
This is a great Creole dish, and this is a good recipe. I usually have a bowl or two when we go to Louisiana. Very filling, and pocketbook friendly. Make sure you have a Louisiana hot sauce on the table so each one can "heat" it up. NOTE: There is a difference between Kidney Beans and Red Beans. The smaller red beans are similar to black beans, in that they never get truly soft. I recommend using Kidney Beans in this recipe.

CREOLE RED BEANS AND RICE FRITTERS
I recently came across a recipe similar to this in a magazine and couldn't resist changing it up to suit my taste. The panko bread crumbs give these a crispy crunch on the outside but when you take a bite...the surprise inside is creamy red beans and rice. I served them up country-style for the rice cooking contest at the 2011 Texas Rice Festival and they won a 1st place medal in the adult appetizer division! Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.

Tips:
- Use leftover red beans and rice. This is a great way to use up leftovers and create a new dish that is just as delicious as the original.
- Season the fritters well. Creole seasoning is a blend of spices that is commonly used in Cajun and Creole cuisine. It typically includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. You can also add other spices to taste, such as chili powder or cumin.
- Use a hot skillet. This will help to create a crispy crust on the fritters.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the fritters from cooking evenly.
- Serve the fritters hot. They are best eaten fresh out of the skillet.
Conclusion:
Creole Red Beans and Rice Fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are also a great way to use up leftover red beans and rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone.
