# Red Beans and Rice
|
||
|
||
## Ingredients
|
||
|
||
* **1 lb** dry red beans, soaked overnight, drained, and rinsed
|
||
* **2 Tbsp.** cooking oil
|
||
* **12--16** oz Andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
|
||
* **1** yellow onion, diced
|
||
* **1** green bell pepper, diced
|
||
* **3 ribs** celery, diced
|
||
* **4 cloves** garlic, minced
|
||
* **6 cups** water
|
||
* **1⁄4 cup** chopped parsley
|
||
|
||
### Spices
|
||
|
||
* **2 tsp.** smoked paprika
|
||
* **1 tsp.** dried oregano
|
||
* **1 tsp.** dried thyme
|
||
* **1⁄2 tsp.** garlic powder
|
||
* **1⁄2 tsp.** onion powder
|
||
* **1⁄4 tsp.** cayenne pepper
|
||
* **1 Tbsp.** salt
|
||
* **1⁄4 tsp.** freshly cracked black pepper
|
||
* **2** bay leaves
|
||
|
||
## Instructions
|
||
|
||
1. Heat the **oil** in a large pot over medium heat.
|
||
Add the **sausage** and cook until browned.
|
||
Remove the sausage to a bowl and refrigerate.
|
||
|
||
2. Add the **onion**, **bell pepper**, **celery**, and **garlic**
|
||
to the pot.
|
||
Sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft.
|
||
|
||
3. Add the **spices**. Stir and continue to sauté for another minute.
|
||
|
||
4. Add the **beans** and **water**. Cover and bring to a boil.
|
||
|
||
5. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and boil for one hour, stirring occasionally.
|
||
|
||
6. Smash the beans against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon.
|
||
Continue smashing the beans while simmering uncovered for 30 minutes.
|
||
|
||
7. Once the red beans have thickened,
|
||
add the sausage back to the pot along with the **parsley**.
|
||
Stir to combine.
|
||
|
||
8. Serve hot with rice.
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
* Makes 9 cups.
|
||
|
||
* Because the rice is cooked separately,
|
||
and (assuming leftovers) in multiple batches,
|
||
I've omitted it from this recipe.
|
||
I like 1⁄2 cup (dry) per serving.
