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!

Provided by Slicey

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.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as onions, celery, and bell peppers add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful sausage: The sausage is a key ingredient in this dish, so choose one that has a good flavor. Andouille sausage or smoked sausage are both good options.
  • Season the dish well: Don't be afraid to add spices and herbs to taste. Common seasonings for red beans and rice include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and thyme.
  • Cook the dish low and slow: Red beans and rice is a dish that benefits from slow cooking. This allows the flavors to develop and the beans to become tender.
  • Serve over rice: Red beans and rice is traditionally served over rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even dirty rice.

Conclusion:

Red beans and rice is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and delicious. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a hearty and flavorful meal that your whole family will enjoy. And don't forget the cornbread!
