Description

This authentic Cajun-style red beans and rice is a hearty, soul-warming dish that captures the essence of Southern comfort food. The deep, smoky flavor comes from slow-simmering dried red beans with a meaty ham bone and spicy smoked sausage. Aromatic vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and celery form the base of this robust stew, enhanced by fresh garlic, thyme, and a touch of ketchup for color and depth. The result is a creamy, flavorful bean mixture that clings perfectly to fluffy white rice.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak dried red beans in water to cover overnight.
  2. Drain and rinse the soaked beans thoroughly.
  3. Place beans in a heavy pot such as a Dutch oven.
  4. Add the ham bone (trim off excess fat), onions, bell pepper, celery, parsley, garlic, thyme, salt, sugar, red pepper, Tabasco, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup.
  5. Add enough water to cover the ingredients.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower heat, partially cover, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  7. Meanwhile, steam the smoked sausage in a skillet, drain, and then pan-fry until browned.
  8. Add the cooked sausage to the pot of beans.
  9. Just before serving, remove the ham bone and bay leaf.
  10. Stir in a little more fresh parsley.
  11. For added thickness, remove a cup of beans from the pot, mash thoroughly, and return to the pot.
  12. Serve the beans over fluffy boiled rice, garnished with chopped scallions.
