Directions: |
Directions: Rinse and sort beans, place in a large pot and cover with water at least 2 inches above the beans. Add all the ingredients except salt(keeps beans from softening). Cover and cook on low heat, stirring occassionaly to keep beans from sticking for about 3 hours or until beans are tender.Come the last hour if you feel you have too much water remove cover to release stem. To help thicken the beans, when they start to soften, smash a few along the side of the pot while stirring. Add salt when beans are all cooked. Serve over rice with green onions, chopped tomatoes and Tabasco. Don't forget the French Bread. |

Notes: This is another New Orleans favorite. Most every recipe calls for soaking the beans overnight or several hours, I believe that softens them and cuts down on the cooking time,however, I'm not that organized and never soak them. If you want you could saute' your vegtables in some bacon grease before adding them to the beans. Some add a little butter to cream them up. It's all good. Tradition has red beans served up every Monday in NOLA, here we eat them every other Monday. Good and good for you.
