Louisiana Style Red Beans and Rice Recipe with a Cajun accent. Hope you enjoy it.
Let me tell ya a little about Red Beans and Rice. Red beans and rice is an emblematic dish of Louisiana Creole cuisine (not from the Cajuns) traditionally served on Mondays with red beans, vegetables, spices, and pork bones as leftovers from Sunday dinner, cooked together slowly in a pot and served over rice. Some of the meats we used were ham, sausage, and tasso ham. Now if ya visit a local restaurant in New Orleans you might have a choice of meats such as Fried Chicken, Pork Chops, Sausage Links, Grilled Chicken Breast, and a ham bone. Back PreKatrina while working for Dixie Mill my coworkers and I would walk down to The Praline Connection for lunch on Mondays and have Red Beans and Rice with Fried Chicken or Grilled Pork Chops. It was really good!
Ingredients:
* 1 to 2 pounds of red beans (Laura Lynn UPC: 0 86854 02117 0)
* 4 Cups cooked Rice Laura Lynn UPC: 0 86854 00472 2
* The Trinity: (Sauce à la Mirepoix which is a buttery, wine laced stock garnished with an aromatic mixture of carrots (Cajuns use Green Bell Peppers (Trinity)), onions, and a bouquet garni.)
* 1/2 cups finely chopped celery (Fresh from Food City in Trenton, Georgia)
* 1/2 cups finely chopped white onions (Fresh from Food City in Trenton, Georgia)
* 1/2 cups finely chopped red onions (Fresh from Food City in Trenton, Georgia)
* 1/2 cups finely chopped bell peppers (Fresh from Food City in Trenton, Georgia)
* 1 clove of chopped Roasted Garlic (Fresh from Food City in Trenton, Georgia (The Cajuns Holy Ghost added to the Trinity))
The Seasoning:
* 2 12oz ham hocks (3 lbs total from Suncrest Farms UPC: 7 06517 00308 3) or (1lb diced Ham)
* 1 lbs Smoked Sausage (2 lbs of Conch Original Smoked Sausage UPC: 0 12176 20010 8)
* 2 Bay leaves (Fresh from Food City in Trenton, Georgia)
* 3 Tbls Paul Prudholme's Pork Magic UPC: 0 47997 12330 5
* 1 Tbls Tabasco Sauce UPC: 0 11210 00001 8
Additional Ingredients:
* 4 Tbls Red Cooking Wine to deglaze (Reese Vintage Cooking Wine UPC: 0 70670 00805 7)
Time: 4 hours cook time
1. Cover beans with water, let stand over night. Drain.
2. Place ham hocks (1lb diced ham = less fat to skim), celery, onions, bell peppers, Bay leaves, and seasoning into large saucepan with 10 cups water. —(if other meats then cook them at this time)
3. Cover and bring to boil. Simmer until meat is fork tender, about an hour after boiling starts, stir occasionally.
4. Remove ham hocks from pan, set aside, skim fat from pan, discard. (I used 1lb diced ham)
5. Remove a significant fraction of liquid from pan, add drained beans, add back just enough liquid to cover beans. Simmer beans until they just begin to break up and liquid starts to become creamy, about 45 minutes. Stir frequently. Add back liquid as needed to keep beans covered.
6. If beans begin to scorch, do not stir, transfer mixture to another pan without scraping scorched beans into new pot.
7. Add ham hocks, cook 45 minutes more, SERVE IMMEDIATELY (I did not use the Ham hocks this time)
