LOUISIANA RED BEANS AND RICE

Categories     main-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dried small red beans, picked over and rinsed
2 large smoked ham hocks
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 green onions, green part only, chopped, plus more for garnish
Red pepper sauce
2 andouille sausages, cut into 3-inch chunks
4 cups cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Place the dried beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak the beans overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Drain the beans and put them in a large heavy pot with the ham hocks, adding just enough cold water to cover (about 2 quarts). Add the onion, celery, green pepper, cayenne, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, garlic, green onions, and several shakes of red pepper sauce; give everything a good stir to combine. Simmer, uncovered, until the beans are tender and starting to thicken, about 21/2 hours. You want the beans to be almost overcooked, like they are getting ready to burst. Stir the beans occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pot. Add about 1 cup of water toward the end of cooking if the mixture appears too thick or dry.
  • Mash about 1 cup of the cooked beans against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon, this makes the broth thick and creamy. Toss in the sausages and cook for another 30 minutes to heat them through. Adjust the seasoning, if needed. Serve the red beans in a wide bowl over some steamed white rice and garnished with chopped green onion.

RED BEANS AND RICE, LOUISIANA-STYLE



Red Beans And Rice, Louisiana-Style image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, project, side dish

Time 3h

Yield Eight or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound red kidney beans
2 small ham hocks, about 1 1/4 pounds
2 tablespoons safflower or corn oil or rendered bacon fat
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
2 cups finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped green peppers
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup crushed or chopped canned tomatoes, preferably imported
1 pound smoked sausage such as Polish sausage,cut into four pieces
Cooked rice (see recipe)
1 cup finely chopped scallions
Hot vinegar, optional

Steps:

  • Put the beans and ham hocks in a large bowl and add cold water to cover, to a level about two inches above the tops of the beans. Cover and let stand overnight.
  • Drain the beans and ham hocks, reserving the water in which they soaked. Put the beans and ham hocks in a kettle. Add enough additional water to the soaking water to make eight cups. Add the water to the beans and ham hocks. Bring to the boil and cook, uncovered, two hours, stirring occasionally from the bottom.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet and add the garlic, onions, green peppers and celery. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is wilted. Add this to the beans. Add the parsley, cayenne pepper, bay leaf, thyme, Tabasco sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and tomatoes.
  • As the beans cook, preheat the broiler to high. Place the sausage pieces on a rack and cook about 10 minutes, turning often. Add the sausage pieces to the beans for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Scoop out about one cup of the beans and their liquid and put them in a food processor or electric blender. Blend thoroughly. Return this mixture to the beans. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Spoon one serving of rice into each of eight hot soup bowls. Cover with beans. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve with a little hot vinegar on the side, to be added, if desired, according to taste.
