Are you looking for a comforting hearty dish that is simple to prepare with easy to find ingredients? Red Beans and Rice is a fabulous combination of beans, pork and spices in a thick gravy served over rice. <\/p>\n\n\n

In New Orleans, Monday was laundry day and the women would put on a big pot of beans and let them cook all day while they did laundry. At supper time they would heat up some sausage, or pork chops, or maybe fry an egg and serve it on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe comes courtesy of little brother, a former chef in New Orleans. His original recipe called for cooking the beans separately from the ham stock and saut\u00e9ing the vegetables in yet another pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ugh, I do not have a staff of dishwashers to clean up after me. So, I reworked the recipe a little to make it in one pot. Unless you are using the crock pot. For that, you do need a skillet to saut\u00e9 the vegetables first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not add cayenne or red pepper to mine because my son doesn't like spicy stuff. I add a little to mine separately, but for the most part this isn't supposed to be a spicy dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Ways to Prepare Red Beans and Rice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The instructions may seem overwhelming at first glance because I list three different ways to prepare the red beans: on the stove top, in the slow cooker, or in the pressure cooker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three ways are delicious. The pressure cooker is the fastest, but it is also a little harder to judge when it is done. If they are under done, you can either bring it back to pressure for another few minutes. Or, if you have time use the saut\u00e9 function (electric cooker) or simmer (stove top cooker) until the beans are nice and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n
