Fat Tuesday's Skinny Red Beans image

This is a modified version from the Moosewood Low-fat Favorite Cookbook. This is a flavorful dish that works well over rice on cool autumn evenings. Easy to make. Don't skimp on the herb measurements... this is a flavorful (but NOT too spicy) dish.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'skinny'. It's still pretty high in calories and fat.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have a lot of ham leftover from Easter, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I'm excited to try this recipe! I love red beans and rice, but I'm always looking for healthier versions.

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm allergic to sausage. Do you think I could substitute another protein, like chicken or tofu?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my beans never got tender. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The beans were a little bland for my taste, but I added some extra spices and they were perfect.

I was skeptical about trying a skinny version of red beans, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were just as flavorful as the traditional version, but with fewer calories.

These red beans were delicious! I especially loved the kick of spice from the cayenne pepper.

I love how easy this recipe is to make. I was able to throw it all in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinner time.

This recipe was a hit at my Mardi Gras party! The beans were flavorful and creamy, and the sausage and vegetables added a nice touch.
