AUTHENTIC AND QUICK RED BEANS AND RICE (WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE)



Authentic and Quick Red Beans and Rice (With Andouille Sausage) image

I modified this from an authentic Louisiana Red Beans & Rice recipe because I didn't have time to soak dried beans. This still has all the flavor, but is faster since it uses canned beans. A nice touch is to use both light and dark kidney beans and to crumble some sausage into the mix. People will ask you for the recipe for this one!

Categories     Stew

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 (15 ounce) cans light kidney beans
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 stalks celery & tops, chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning, like Tony Cachere's Creole Seasoning
1 1/2 lbs andouille sausages, sliced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (Fire Roasted)
2 tablespoons sofrito sauce (optional, Goya brand)
1 (1/2 ounce) packet sazon goya (optional)
3 cups long grain white rice, cooked

Steps:

  • Heat one cup of water and soak bay leaves in the water for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced celery and cook 1-2 minutes. Then add diced Onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetables to large stock pot. Drain kidney beans, reserving some of the liquid, and add beans to pot. Add one can of diced tomatoes (with liquid) to stock pot. Remove the bay leaves from the hot water and add the seasoned liquid to the pot. (If the bay leaves have not soaked long enough, you can add them later). If additional liquid is needed, add some of the reserved liquid from the beans or a small amount of water.
  • In the same skillet you sauteed vegetables in, add Andouille sausage and cook over medium heat. You can slice the sausage then cook it or cook whole sausage then let cool and slice.
  • Add cayenne pepper, thyme, sage, parsley, and Cajun seasoning to the stock pot with the beans and vegetables. Bring to a slight boil, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 1 hour.
  • Stir cooked sausage into beans, and continue to simmer for 30 minutes. At this point, you can add Goya brand Sofrito (a sauce used to season soups and stews) or 1 packet Sazon Goya (a seasoning packet that contains MSG) if desired. You can find Goya products in the Mexican food aisle of the grocery store.
  • Add additional water, salt, pepper, or Creole seasoning to taste, if needed.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the rice. In a saucepan, put 1 Tablespoon butter, and 2 cups water for every one cup dry rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve beans over steamed white rice. Serve Louisiana Hot Sauce at the table, if desired.

SPICY RED BEANS WITH CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE



Spicy Red Beans with Chicken and Andouille Sausage image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2012 article about cooking in a bean hole, a classic method of outdoor cooking popular in Maine. Here's how it works: Dig a hole big enough for the pot you're planning to cook in, then build a fire of hardwood logs in it. Drop a dozen or so rocks into the fire once it's started. When the wood has burned down to embers, remove the rocks using barbecue gloves, put your pot of presoaked beans into the embers, drop the rocks around and on top of the pot, cover everything with dirt and walk away. Come back in about eight hours, and your beans should be ready. Not in the mood to dig a hole in your backyard? No worries. These spicy New Orleans-style red beans with chicken and andouille sausage can just as easily be made in your oven. The slightly sweet creaminess of the beans and the richness of the chicken temper the sharp heat of the andouille sausage and red pepper flakes. Serve over a pile of snowy white rice alongside an ice-cold beer.

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound red beans, soaked overnight or quick-soaked, then drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 bone-in chicken thighs
1 pound andouille sausage (or substitute linguiça), sliced ½ inch thick
1 onion, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons filé powder (optional)
2 to 3 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the soaked beans and heat the oven to 350.
  • Heat the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken thighs and brown well, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the thighs, add the sausage to pot and brown well, another 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the sausage. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add back the thighs and sausage along with the beans, filé powder if using, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and enough water to cover. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cover and transfer the pot to the oven and bake until the beans are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, checking every half-hour or so after the first hour and adding water as needed if all the liquid has been absorbed.
