AUTHENTIC NEW ORLEANS RED BEANS AND RICE
Just like mom makes. I recommend cooking the day before you want to eat it. It is a time-consuming recipe and the taste gets even better after 24 hours in the refrigerator. For extra spice, add a splash of hot sauce.

EMERIL'S NEW ORLEANS-STYLE RED BEANS AND RICE
"Oh yeah, this is it!" - are the words my husband declared when he tried this recipe for red beans and rice. He was craving New Orleans-style red beans and rice and I had never made it before- so this is the recipe I searched for and tried and it was delicious!! The kids thought it was great too. I only made a few small changes to Emeril's, like adding more sausage than the recipe called for and letting a smoked ham hock cook with the beans for the first two hours..other than that everything is the same. This is not a quick meal, but great for a lazy day at home.

AUTHENTIC LOUISIANA RED BEANS AND RICE
Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

NEW ORLEANS STYLE RED BEANS
Our family version of the classic Monday dish in New Orleans. Historically, Monday was laundry day and, before modern washers, women needed a meal that could simmer on a low fire al day with minimal attention. The need is gone, but the tradition survives. To this day no self respecting neighborhood New Orleans restaurant would leave this off their Monday specials! Our family version kept the recipe simple which allows the flavor of the beans to come through. If you like you can also add garlic and bell pepper to the recipe. You can substitute andouille sausage, ham, or pickled meat for the smoked sausage if you prefer. In our house we serve it over a medium grain steamed rice, but this works with most rices.

Steps:
- Place beans, onion, parsley, thyme, water and celery into a large pot and bring to a rolling boil stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat so that there is still a slight roll and continue occasional stirring until beans begin to soften and break up, adding water as needed.
- At this point add the sausage and, using a spoon (a relatively flat wooden spoon works best) gently mash the beans against the side of the pot and scrape the sides to release the mashed beans (this will help thicken the sauce).
- When the sauce has achieved a creamy consistency it is ready to serve. (depending on the freshness of the beans usually 1.5 to 3 hours) Serve over your favorite rice.
- Add the baking powder, blended in an ounce or two of water, just after cooking. This will cause the beans to foam up added. I find that adding this reduces the gas and bloating that beans can cause.
