N'AWLINS INSPIRED BLACK BEANS AND CAJUN SAUSAGE



N'awlins Inspired Black Beans and Cajun Sausage image

A hearty, flavor packed dish that is guaranteed to reduce the talk down to umm's and ahh's with allot of spoon to bowl clacking going on between. Inspired by many previous Cuban dishes, I created this "out of the blue" and decided I had better write this one down now. If your on a tight budget as I am but demand good eats, you will appreciate the bang you get for your peso.. I mean dollar. Cheers!

Provided by Chuckwagon

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

14 ounces dried black beans, medium sized bag, soak and drained twice
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon instant minced garlic or 3 fresh garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
2 bay leaves
kosher salt
1 lime, juice of
1/2 teaspoon lime rind
12 ounces chicken stock, canned ok
2 -3 smoked ham hocks
1 lb cajun sausage

Steps:

  • Cook sausage with 1/2 cup water in large heavy bottomed pot that the beans will be cooked in, allow water to dissipate and sausage to brown until you have a good fond going on in the pan. Once you have a good caramelized pan, remove the sausage allow to cool and fridge them.
  • Drain grease and replace with tablespoon of a light flavored oil and saute/brown your onion - salt, add celery - salt, all spices and saute till translucent - avoid burning your fond! Add stock to deglaze pan.
  • Add ham hocks (note: These tend to shed bone shards, avoid stirring once these are in the mix. Remove them after cooking is complete and pull the meat off the bone on a separate plate. Add the meat back into the mix).
  • Add beans.
  • Add enough water to just cover beans/ham hocks bring the party to a boil then reduce heat and cook until beans are soft. I used a pressure cooker, the whole meal was done in 30 minutes -- with that said, only allow pressure to get it's initial burst of steam then bring down the heat to a low simmer -- beans can foam up and clog your cooker - always monitor this process.).
  • While awaiting the beans to soften, prep lime and the lime rind, cut sausage into bite size chunks - taste sausage for heat and adjust to your preference. consider some cayenne to the mix. The Chipotle pepper does provide a subtle heat that will make your forhead sweat but no significant affect to the tongue.
  • Once the beans are cooked, add remaining ingredients and simmer another 10 minutes. I like my beans a bit soupy so I choose not to thicken it. To help thicken the dish, food process 1/3 of the beans into a paste then reincorperate them.
  • Serve over rice, perhaps corn bread or fried plantains.
  • Garnish
  • chopped red bell pepper & Scallions.

SUCCOTASH WITH SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP



Succotash With Sausage and Shrimp image

Succotash embodies the proverb "If it grows together, it goes together." This dish is a celebration of summer: fresh corn, ripe tomatoes and shelled butter beans (also known as lima beans.) Succotash has earned its place of pride in regions across the U.S. - the Midwest, the Eastern Seaboard, and perhaps most notably, the South. This succotash is Cajun-style and a worthy entree, thanks to spicy Andouille sausage and seasoned shrimp. But feel free to leave them out for a satisfying meatless option. The Andouille sausage adds kick, so if you use regular sausage or eliminate it altogether, you can add some heat with ground cayenne and hot sauce.

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups/1 pound fresh (shelled) or frozen butter beans or baby lima beans
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
3 cups/12 ounces fresh or frozen okra, tops and tails trimmed, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
6 ounces Andouille sausage, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
5 medium ears corn, kernels sliced off (about 3 1/2 cups)
2 large ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed
1 pound shrimp (any size), peeled and deveined
1/2 packed cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the butter beans and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
  • While the butter beans are cooking, prepare the okra: Spread the okra in an even layer on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Roast the okra for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the Andouille sausage and cook until it's crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the rendered fat in the skillet or Dutch oven, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the corn, tomatoes, lima beans, okra, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and Andouille sausage. Stir, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat.
  • As vegetables cook, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then generously season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • In a separate large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Stir the cooked shrimp into the succotash.
  • Add the fresh basil and stir. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Turn off heat and let sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use good-quality Cajun seasoning: This is the key to getting that authentic Cajun flavor. You can either make your own or buy a store-bought blend.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and vegetables, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Add the corn and tomatoes at the end: The corn and tomatoes should be added towards the end of the cooking time so that they retain their鮮豔的色彩 and flavor.
  • Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more Cajun seasoning, salt, or pepper.

Conclusion:

This Cajun Black Beans with Sausage and Corn is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vegetables, and it is also relatively low in calories. Serve it over rice or with a side of cornbread for a complete meal.
