What’s New

Monday in New Orleans means Red Beans and Rice!

Add your beans, beef broth (or water) and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer. Simmer for three hours. Check on the beans between washing laundry.
After the three hours, mash some of the beans or puree about two cups in a food processor and return to pot; this will produce that creamy desired smoothness. Cook for another hour, stir regularly and use caution not to let them stick,  so make sure your simmer is not too hot. You may need to add a little water based on the consistency that you like, but be careful not to make them too watery, it is not a soup you are eating. Serve over a plate of rice with French bread.  I prefer Jasmine rice.  Don’t forget to place your hot sauce on the table for added hot flavor if needed.
Sit with the family and “catch up” on life. Bon Appetite!
