Pinto Bean & Andouille Sausage Stew Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dry pinto beans
1 tablespoon peanut oil, or canola oil
12 ounces andouille sausage, diced
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup diced onions
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1-3 teaspoons minced chile pepper, such as serrano or jalapeƱo
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 large ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced or one undrained 14 oz can petite diced tomatoes
8 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
Juice of 1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Pick over beans to remove any pebbles or broken beans and rinse under cold water. Place in a bowl, cover with 3 inches of cold water and soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. Heat oil in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is almost crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a small bowl and set aside in the refrigerator. Add onions cook, stirring, over medium heat, until soft and lightly brown, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add bell peppers and chile pepper to taste; continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture is soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in paprika. Add tomatoes and cook until they release their juice, about 2 minutes. Drain the beans. Stir the beans and 8 cups water into the pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Stir in the reserved sausage and bacon along with salt and pepper. Continue simmering, adding a little water if the beans are dry, until the beans are very soft and beginning to break down, about 30 minutes more. Stir in lime zest and juice.

This stew was a disaster. The beans were undercooked and the sausage was too spicy. I ended up throwing it away.

This stew was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices.

I'm not a big fan of pinto beans, but this stew was surprisingly good. The andouille sausage added a lot of flavor, and the beans were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This stew was easy to make and very tasty. I used chicken sausage instead of andouille, and it was still delicious. I served it with rice, and it was a perfect meal.

This was a great recipe! I made it exactly as written and it was delicious. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more spice. Next time I'll add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

This stew is hearty and flavorful. The pinto beans and andouille sausage are a great combination. I also added some chopped bell peppers and corn, which gave it a nice crunch.
