Red Beans Thursday
 
Who says you can only cook red beans on Mondays?
Better yet, who says you can't eat Red Beans and Rice any or every day of the week?
Actually I was supposed to cook these this past Monday but we had a Red Bean Dinner fundraiser at St. Francis Xavier and so I deferred to today to cook these four pounds I picked up last week.

So of course I forgot to put them to soak overnight but I figured four hours will do this morning.

Big cook today so I brought out the big boy!
http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...3/DSC04863.jpg
Seasonings chopped and time to brown the sausage.

No dried bay leaves so I went to the yard and plucked some from the tree and while out there I thought I heard something in the fridge in the patio shed calling my name. Sure enough there was an ice cold Abita Golden screaming for me to open and drink it. Life is good some days! ;D ;D

Now mixing the seasonings back into the sausage.

And the red beans added! I like to mix it all together before adding the water or stock so it's right next to something tasty while it cooks. ;D

Water was added(I was out of chicken stock)and they're simmering to orgasmic Red Bean perfection! It is smelling pretty awesome in here!!!

SigNate 09-11-2014 03:27 PM
Alright, Red Beans are done!
http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...3/DSC04875.jpg

Oh, yeah I did add some larger links of hot smoked sausage!

My wife cooks a quick "red beans" and rice with Blue Runner Red Beans out of the can. For canned beans there pretty good but there's a big difference from the real thing.

I treat my Red Beans and Rice like its a sacred dinner, straight up holy trinity, smoked pork green onion sausage, a small bone in ham or butt, and if my wife's not looking some smoked ham-hocks.

Sig, thx for posting I always enjoy your stuff.

I found smoked ham shanks at albertsons. They season the same as hocks but have more meat than fat. like them a lot more than hocks.

Those blue runners aren't bad for a quick after work meal. We do the same thing. Sausage, onion, peppers and garlic and supper is ready in 45 minutes. A good meal for the time invested.

duckman1911 09-13-2015 03:00 PM
Looks great as always Sig.

I agree... It works when I need a quick fix.

Yep. We love to cook those low and slow meals but it can't always be done. Doesn't mean you still can't eat good though.

I do this every couple weeks. The white beans are just as good if you want a little change.

We use Blue Runner but nothing takes the place of fresh red beans.

I can't agree with that, I dont find the Blue Runner white beans are very good. Red Beans are much better to me.

Never had the whites.

Sure do put beans in my chili.

B-Stealth 09-15-2015 10:56 AM
I thought beans were mandatory in chili

Cappy 09-17-2015 10:47 AM
I prefer pintos to red kidney beans they cook up creamier. White beans are a very good meal and go great with fried fish or chicken. white beans are served with fried fish in the bayou Lafourche area. They do go good together. My personal all time favorite si black eye peas. I love the earthy chalky flavor and they are great cooked together with chicken and if yall aint ya need to try black eye pea jambalaya.

swamp snorkler 09-17-2015 11:24 AM
Sometimes I make a jambalaya with Lima Beans in it. My wifes Mawmaw from Wallace made it that way.

biggun 09-28-2015 05:54 PM
When I cook red beans its with the Blue Runner creamy..

I usually do a mix of one lb pinto and one lb red kidney. It works good.

duckman1911 09-28-2015 06:21 PM
Now I want some beans. Whites and ham or reds and sausage? Hmm. Cornbread and banana peppers onthe side with either
