Chilly Seattle weather today and snow flurries yesterday made me want New Orleans red beans and rice. I used the last of the beans and rice I brought back from NOLA.

I wish Mastodon had smell-o-vision because these red beans smell fantastic.

Didn't get too many photos at the #MardiGras this year, too busy having fun! But here's a shot of your narrator at #RedBeansAndRice on Lundi Gras! Beans was a total blast this year! Lots of great costumes and throws! #nola #NewOrleans

There is a person dressed as a fly to the man's left. They are on a street, in a parade, on a cloudy day in New Orleans!

Here’s the full recipe …

#RedBeansAndRice #Cooking #NewOrleans

Red Beans & Rice

Shopping List

1lb Red kidney beans
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
5 ribs celery, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced (or lots more, to taste)
3 12 oz packages andouille (1 diced, 2 sliced)
1 tsp dried thyme leaves, crushed
2 bay leaves
Crystal (or other Louisiana-style) hot sauce (to taste
A few dashes Worcestershire sauce
Red pepper and black pepper to taste
Long grain rice
Scallions/Green onions
Salt to taste

Method 

Start by picking and rinsing the beans. Boil them at a steady but not aggressive boil for about an hour. You're not looking for beans to be completely soft, but they should be heading in that direction after an hour. Drain the beans.

While the beans are boiling, render the fat from the diced andouille. I do this in a bit of vegetable oil, but it’s not strictly necessary if you start cooking the sausage on low. 

After you’ve rendered some fat and the andouille has browned, add your mirepoix, salt and pepper to taste. Sauté the mirepoix and andouille for about 8-10 minutes until it’s all softened. Then add the garlic and thyme. Cook the garlic for another ~minute (until you start to smell it).Then add the beans, the sliced andouille, bay leaves, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, red and black pepper. Cover with water and bring everything to a boil. Once everything comes to a boil, reduce the heat until it is gently but steadily simmering. 

Over the next three hours, the magic happens. Check back on the pot every so often to give everything a stir and make sure it’s simmering. If the beans are no longer fully covered, add some boiling water.  Sometimes I go a bit longer than 3 hours, sometimes a bit less. You’re looking for soft but whole beans and a rich gravy that will eventually develop.

Serve over white rice, green onions, extra hot sauce to taste, some crusty French bread, and perhaps a cold beer.

Then in goes: the boiled beans, two packages of sliced andouille, two bay leaves, a few dashes of Worcestershire, many dashes of Louisiana-style hot sauce (I greatly prefer Crystal, but Tabasco certainly works), salt, red and black pepper.

Cover with water and bring everything to a boil.

Sauté the mirepoix and andouille for about 8-10 minutes until it’s all softened. Then add crushed/diced garlic and 1-2tsp of crushed dried thyme. How much garlic? I like a ton so usually 8+ cloves but as long as you’re using at least four there’s no wrong answer here.

Cook the garlic for another ~minute (until you start to smell it).

While the beans are boiling, render the fat from one 12 oz package of andouille sausage, diced. I do this in a bit if vegetable oil, but it’s not strictly necessary if you start cooking the sausage on low.

After you’ve rendered some fat and the andouille has browned, add your mirepoix (I do 1 red bell pepper (green is traditional), 5 ribs of celery, and one large onion). Salt and pepper to taste.

Let’s make some red beans and rice! This is—hands down—my favorite dish. I could eat it every week and never grow bored. It’s the ultimate comfort food for me.

My recipe is adapted from gumbopages.com/food/red-beans.

You can start with dried kidney beans and the results will be fantastic. But to really plus it up, it’s worth seeking out these Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo beans.

If it's Monday, it's time for red beans and rice! Check out my latest about Joey K's for
