Time 18h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb dried red beans
1-1/2 lb smoked sausage cut into chunks or slices (your favorite kind)
1 large ham hock or ham bone
1 large chopped onion
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, flakes or powder (more or less to taste)
salt to taste
freshly cooked white rice

Steps:

  • 1. Soak beans overnight in cold water. Drain and put the beans in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add fresh water to cover, along with the sausage and ham, onion, garlic, thyme, pepper, sage and cayenne. Bring to boil over medium high heat.
  • 2. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until beans are tender, adding more water if necessary to keep them from drying out. This will take 2 to 3 hours. Add salt to taste. Discard ham bones.
  • 3. Remove about 1/4 cup of beans from mixture and mash; return to Dutch oven and stir. Simmer 15 more minutes. Serve over hot rice.
