FRIED RED BEANS AND RICE FRITTERS
I recently came across a recipe similar to this in a magazine and couldn't resist changing it up to suit my taste. The panko bread crumbs give them a crisp crunch on the outside but when you take a bite...the surprise inside is creamy red beans and rice. I entered them in the rice cooking contest at the 2011 Texas Rice Festival...

CREOLE RED BEANS AND RICE
If you like beans and rice, I'm pretty sure you'll like this. My secret is that I wash my beans and pick the bad ones out, then soak them overnight in the beef broth, worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke.

CREOLE RED BEANS AND RICE
This is a great Creole dish, and this is a good recipe. I usually have a bowl or two when we go to Louisiana. Very filling, and pocketbook friendly.

The smaller red beans are similar to black beans, in that they never get truly soft. I recommend using Kidney Beans in this recipe.
