RED BEANS AND RICE



Red Beans and Rice image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound dried red beans, rinsed and sorted over
3 tablespoons bacon grease
1/4 cup chopped tasso, or chopped ham
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1/2 pound smoked sausage, split in half lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound smoked ham hocks
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
10 cups chicken stock, or water
4 cups cooked white rice
1/4 cup chopped green onions, garnish

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large bowl or pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Let soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large pot, heat the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the tasso and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the onions, celery and bell peppers to the grease in the pot. Season with the salt, pepper, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves, parsley, thyme, sausage, and ham hocks, and cook, stirring, to brown the sausage and ham hocks, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and stock or water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and starting to thicken, about 2 hours. (Should the beans become too thick and dry, add more water, about 1/4 cup at a time.)
  • Remove from the heat and with the back of a heavy spoon, mash about 1/4 of the beans against the side of the pot. Continue to cook until the beans are tender and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove the bay leaves.
  • Serve over rice and garnish with green onions.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Use a variety of smoked sausage: Andouille, kielbasa, or chorizo are all good options.
  • Add vegetables to the pot: Chopped onions, celery, and bell peppers are classic additions.
  • Season the dish to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper are all good choices.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Cornbread, coleslaw, or potato salad are all good options.

Conclusion:

Red beans and rice with smoked sausage is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and hearty meal on the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
