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 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.

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.
