SPICY RED BEANS AND RICE



Spicy Red Beans and Rice image

I guess I'm one of those women "who have moved from the country in body but not in heart"! Although I'm an attorney in a large city, my parents are ranchers. And, since they once grew rice, that's a staple of my cooking. Because of my busy schedule, I like dishes like this that can be easily reheated throughout the week. This was actually a soup recipe when I first found it. I needed a side dish, however, so I simply reduced the amount of water.

Mama's Red Beans & Rice image

Down home delicious! My family doesn't like things too hot, but does enjoy a bit of spice. They also like a hearty meal with meat, meat, and more meat. Without the additional ham in red beans and rice, my family always was less than excited for this meal. When I learned to add the ham to it, they now clamor for Mama's Red Beans and Rice!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 4h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 lb dried kidney beans
2 cups water (more accurately, enough to cover plus 1-2 inches)
2 tablespoons fat (for frying, I prefer to render ham fat or bacon fat for this dish)
1 lb andouille sausage, cut into bite size medallions
3 carrots, diced
3 celery ribs, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 smoked ham hocks
1 meaty ham bone
8 cups water (more or less, cover the ham hocks, bones, and veggies)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons paprika (or 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika)
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper
3 -4 cups cooked rice
red pepper hot sauce

Steps:

  • Speed soak kidney beans by covering with water and bringing to rolling boil for 2-5 minutes. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit for an hour.
  • Render fat from bacon or ham to coat bottom of dutch oven OR use about 2 Tabelspoons oil to brown andouille sausage.
  • Once sausage is browned, remove from pan and set aside.
  • In fat left over from sausage, saute onions, celery, carrots, and bell pepper until translucent and beginning to brown scraping up the fond from the sausage.
  • Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. DO NOT let the garlic burn!
  • Add ham hocks and ham bone to the pot and cover with water.
  • Bring to boil and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
  • Mix together in small bowl salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and paprika; set aside.
  • Once ham is falling off the bone and ham hocks are beginning to fall apart, remove about 2 cups of water/stock from the pot.
  • Remove the bones and return the meat to the pot.
  • Drain what liquid is left from the beans and dump beans into the ham and stock mixture.
  • Dump browned andouille sausage into ham, bean, and stock mixture.
  • Add spice mixture and bay leaves to the pot and mix in well.
  • Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours.
  • While simmering the beans, cook your favorite rice. You'll need at least 3-4 cups. My family really likes rice so I usually double that.
  • Remove the bay leaves and any bone or skin pieces from ham hock.
  • When ready to eat, if there still seems to be too much liquid on the beans, just ladle the excess liquid off. (I find that some days are just more humid and there's a lot of liquid, and some days there's hardly any.).
  • Serve meaty bean mixture over the top of hot rice.
  • If desired, use some good hot sauce on top. Enjoy!

RED BEANS AND RICE



Red Beans and Rice image

Every Monday, you can find a pot of red beans and rice cooking in someone's kitchen in New Orleans. The food writer and New Orleans bon vivant Pableaux Johnson's house is no exception. The dish, an easy meal from when people used to reserve Monday to do the wash, was once made with the pork bone left over from Sunday supper. In this version, Mr. Johnson strongly encourages the use of hand-made Louisiana Andouille, but smoked sausage will do.

Categories     side dish

Time 6h30m

Yield About 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pound dried red beans (preferably New Orleans Camelia brand)
1 pound Andouille sausage, sliced 1/2-inch thick (smoked sausage can also be used)
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium onions, finely diced
1 large rib celery, finely diced
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons salt
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried basil
3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 bunch fresh green onions, chopped
Cooked white long-grain rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cover beans in water and soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. (Water should cover beans by at least an inch.)
  • In a large, heavy pot, brown sausage in 1 tablespoon of oil until slightly crisp. Add remaining oil, then the garlic and onions. Sauté over medium heat until onions become transparent and limp. Add celery and bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Pour soaked beans and water into the pot and bring to a simmer. Add black pepper, cayenne, salt and all herbs except parsley.
  • Cook until beans are softened, about 11/2 to 2 hours. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Fifteen minutes before serving, remove 1 cup of beans to a bowl and, using a fork, mash them and stir back into the pot to enhance the creamy texture of the dish. Add parsley and green onions. Simmer about 15 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning, and add up to 1 cup more water if beans seem too thick. Remove bay leaves. Serve over white long-grain rice.
