Cover with water and cook with ham bone ( fat trimmed off ), onion, bell pepper, celery, salt, pepper, sugar, and bay leaf. While beans are cooking, boil sausage in skillet. Drain, fry until crisp, and set aside. Cook beans until fork tender ( 1 - 2 Hrs ); then add fried sausage. JUST before serving, remove bay leaf and add parsely. Serves 8 ( small servings ) and freezes well. Serve with corn bread and mustard greens to complete the mood.Red Beans and Rice #4
( Shane's 40 min variety ) 2 cans Red Beans ( black-eyed peas also work ) 1/2 pound smoked sausage ( the smokier the better ) 1 medium to large onion, chopped 1/2 bell pepper, chopped ( too much will make it bitter ) 2 green onions ( if you have them ) 1 rib of celery, chopped ( if you have it ) 1 tsp minced garlic ( I usually get it in the little jar ) salt, pepper, red pepper, tabasco (or just Tony's if you have it) thyme and parsley ( if you have them ) a little beer ( if you're drinking one or have one handy ) a little vegetable oil uncooked rice Rinse out the Red beans in their cans and fill the cans with water, set aside. Chop up all that needs to be chopped up ( including sausage ) and get out your trusty deep black iron skillet or pot. Put enough oil to wet the bottom of the pot and start frying the sausage. After about a 1 min or so, season the sausage really well with the salt and pepper ( esp pepper ). When the sausage is about 1/2 done, stir in the onions, bell pepper, and celery. Stir fry it all until the sausage is done and the vegetables are limp. ( push the sausage to the side of the skillet if it cooks too fast and focus on the vegetables ). Pour in the beans and water, and add about another can of water ( cover all the contents and leave burner at frying setting ). Add the garlic, a few shakes of tabasco, a little ( about 2 tablespoons ) beer, a pinch of thyme, and about 1/4 cup parsley. While the mixture comes to a boil, start the rice on another burner. Keep the Red beans at a raging simmer, and stir often. When the rice is done, the beans should be about done. Cook the beans down to the desired consistancy, and squash a few beans on the bottom for a more paste like texture. Serve beans over rice with a little more pepper sprinkled on top. Serves 3.RED BEANS AND RICE #5
1 pound of small red beans
1/2 pound of ham hocks or smoked hocks (optional) (can substitute polish
sausage, if you want)
1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 Tablespoon parsley
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1-2 bay leaves
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1/8 pound margarine
Pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
Tabasco to taste
Salt to taste
3 cups cooked white rice
Soak beans overnight in ample water. The next day, drain the water
from the beans, and place in a heavy kettle. Add the ham, onion,
celery, parsley, bay leaves, and garlic, and add water to the pot
barely to cover the contents. Bring to a boil, and then turn to a
simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours, being careful that the beans
do not stick or become too dry. You may have to add a little water.
After the initial two hours of cooking, add the margarine, pepper,
Worchestershire, and Tabasco to the pot. Continue cooking for 1 more
hour, this time with a lid on the pot and the heat quite low.
Correct the seasonings. You may wich to add a bit of salt, but do not
add salt until this point because salt cooks out of the ham (if
present) and will season the beans.
Serve over white rice. Pass additional Tabasco sauce for the brave!
