Popeye's Red Beans and Rice II image

THIS IS NOT THE RECIPE FROM TODD WILBUR!!!! This recipe was found on cajun cooking and then I made changes to it myself. I'm still a southerner at heart so usually make my own recipe of red beans and rice, but every now and then I crave Popeye's. This recipe is not health conscious.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup pork fat
2 (15 ounce) cans red beans or 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash onion powder
1 dash hot pepper sauce
2 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rice

Steps:

  • Melt pork fat. Combine 1/4 cup pork fat with one 15-ounce can red beans plus liquid in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Use a potato masher to smash beans into a paste-like consistency. Add entire contents of remaining can of beans to the mixture and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Prepare rice for 4 servings. For Uncle Ben's converted rice you bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil. Add 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup of rice, reduce heat to low and simmer rice for 20 minutes or until tender.
  • To prepare each serving scoop 1 cup of beans into a bowl. Add 1 cup of rice on top of the beans and serve.
  • ****If you can't find pork lard -- Buy 2 pounds of smoked ham hocks and render the fat from the smoked ham hocks. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place the ham hocks in a deep pan. Cover pan with foil and bake for 4 to 5 hours or until 1/4 cup of fat has rendered from the hocks.

The beans were a little bland for my taste, but the rice was perfect. I added some extra spices to the beans and it was much better.
