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!

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!!!

Alright, Red Beans are done!

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.

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.
