It's a hell of a lot more work than chili if you do it right.  But definitely better than chili.

Yeah, look at the "vegetarian version".  You add a little oil, too.

Generally don't get down with vegan stuff, but that probably does taste nearly as good.  Smoked ham hocks are pretty damn incredible though.

At the very least, it's a vegan dish that will keep 99% of people that think they need a half pound of meat for every meal from bitching about eating hippie food.  I've actually never done that recipe w/ ham.  Will have to try some time and compare.

My former sister in-law (a hippie) is pretty good about making vegetarian/vegan dishes that still taste pretty damn good and don't make you wish she had added a bunch of meat to it.  At least, she does when other people are eating her food.  The stuff she eats on a regular basis, not so much.

I make it at least once a week with Andouille Sausage.  I met a girl recently that is from New Orleans.  She get authentic ingredients for fantastic Cajun dishes shipped from her family.    She is supposed to cook for me one of these days  :love:

Not sure about the love thing, but I'd throw a few pity F's her way in exchange for some great creole/cajun cooking.

You guys put way too much thought into beans and rice. Soak the beans over night, drain, throw in the crockpot on low in the morning. Set the timer on the rice cooker for 20 minutes before you get home and you have enough time to get out of your work clothes before you combine the two. I will forever love my host mom in Costa Rica for teaching me how to make beans and rice.  :lick:

Why don't you take your dumbass over to the bland, nasty bean board.  This thread is for the art of creating delicious cajun red beans and rice board.

Thanks.

don't presoak your beans and throw out the water.  it loses flavor and nutrition.
Title: Re: Red Beans and Rice
Post by: jtksu on August 30, 2010, 11:22:33 PM
You do need to rinse the beans though and strain them with a collander or something because there are often rocks in the beans and some dirt, too.

Yeah, we are all starving marvins and need all the nutrition we can get. Also trinity, spices, ham bones and sausage contribute almost nothing to the flavor, so you are correct.

soaking beans now (not red),  will definitely discard the water.  don't need or want the water.

Pretty sure there are a few insecure chili bros in this thread. 

It's cool.  Red Beans and Rice doesn't want your festival(doesn't need the affirmations, already knows it is cool). 

Your festivals are safe.
