With its smoky sausage, herbs, and spicy Cajun seasoning, this recipe for red beans and rice will transport you to your comfort zone.
Red beans and rice is a quintessential Creole dish, right up there with gumbo and jambalaya. Versions can be found across Louisiana and the Low Country, but most start with the classic sauté of green peppers, celery, and onions, a.k.a. the holy trinity. In our take on the Southern classic, we dice the andouille sausage—instead of slicing it into more traditional coins—so each spoonful gets a pop of texture and flavor.
Simmer the soaked beans low and slow on the stovetop until they’re rich with the flavors of chicken stock and store-bought Cajun seasoning. Of course, every Southern home cook has their own way of doing things, and you should feel free to take some liberties too. Swap in a smoked ham hock, kielbasa, or another smoked sausage for the andouille. Seek out the classic New Orleans choice of Camellia red kidney beans—or use a different kind of dried bean altogether. Douse the whole thing in hot sauce.
