Authentic Louisiana Red Beans and Rice image

Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

SAUTEED ROMAINE WITH BUTTERED CRUMBS

A great leafy-green side dish and a use for the last romaine heart, sold in a bag of three, which may be a bit "tired."

Provided by Heidi Hoerman

Categories     Vegetables

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large romaine lettuce heart
2 Tbsp butter
2 clove garlic
2 Tbsp seasoned bread crumbs (or 2 tbsp plain bread crumbs tossed with 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix)
1 dash(es) salt, to taste
1 dash(es) black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the romaine crosswise at 1/4" intervals. Discard the hard base but do include the ribs in the dish. Wash and drain well, leaving some water clinging to the romaine. A salad spinner works well for this.
  • 2. Peel the garlic cloves and prepare in accordance with how strong a garlic flavor is desired. For a gentle garlic flavor that allows the flavor of the lettuce to star, cut each clove in half lengthwise. For a stronger garlic flavor, thinly slice, chop or crush the garlic.
  • 3. Melt the butter over medium-heat in a large skillet, uncovered. Add the garlic, cut-side down if using halved cloves. Stir to flavor the butter with the garlic. Add the bread crumbs and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to lightly toast.
  • 4. Add the romaine, toss to coat with the butter and crumbs. Cover and saute about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
  • 5. Remove garlic if using halved cloves. Serve immediately.

STEWED ROMANO BEANS WITH TOMATOES



Stewed Romano Beans With Tomatoes image

Romanos hold up to longer cooking, as you'll see when you make this dish. Even when they soften, after 20 minutes of braising or stewing, they still have plenty of texture, their color remains good and they become somewhat juicy. If you can't find romano beans use regular green beans. Just reduce cooking time to 15 minutes.

Time 35m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, finely chopped
Salt
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds fresh romano beans, trimmed and cut in 2- to 3-inch lengths
1 cup grated or chopped peeled tomatoes (about 3/4 pound)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Ground black pepper
Feta cheese for topping
Cooked pasta or grains, such as bulgur, quinoa, polenta or brown rice (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a wide, lidded skillet or Dutch oven and add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook gently without browning, stirring often, until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute, until fragrant.
  • Stir in romano beans, tomatoes and half the dill. Add 1/2 cup water, bring to a simmer, season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until beans are tender. Stir in remaining dill and olive oil and simmer another 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender romaine lettuce: Look for romaine lettuce hearts with tightly packed, deep green leaves. Avoid any leaves that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Soak the rice before cooking: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking helps to reduce cooking time and makes the rice more tender and fluffy.
  • Use a variety of beans: Feel free to mix and match different types of beans in this recipe. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add some heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño to the sautéed vegetables.
  • Serve with a squeeze of lime: A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a bright and tangy flavor to this dish.

Conclusion:

This sautéed romaine with beans and rice is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with vegetables, protein, and fiber, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Plus, it's delicious!
