Louisiana Red Beans and Rice image

I had left over Easter ham and found a recipe on a bag of beans that I tweaked and adapted to my ingredients on hand. The oil I used was garlic infused which added a little extra flavor. Add some Sriracha to serve for those who like a kick!

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cup(s) dried small red beans (washed and soaked)
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, divided
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium red or green pepper, chopped
4 stalk(s) celery, sliced
5-6 clove(s) garlic
1 cup(s) ham
1 teaspoon(s) dried crushed thyme
2 - bay leaves
- hot sauce - to taste
2 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon(s) apple cider vinegar
- creole seasoning, to taste (or combination of red and black pepper)
3 teaspoon(s) chicken or ham soup base or bouillon
1 cup(s) white rice
- salt and pepper - to taste

Steps:

  • Drain beans from water they've soaked in. Put in pot, cover with water and boil for approximately an hour or until softened.
  • When beans are almost done,heat half of oil in a dutch oven and add veggies. Saute until softened. Meanwhile, drain beans, then add them to the veggies. Add rest of ingredients (but not the rice) and just cover with water.
  • Bring to boil, then turn down heat and simmer for 1-2 hours until mixture is "creamy".
  • Before beans are done, heat rest oil in another pot. Add rice and stir to coat with oil. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to easy boil, then lower heat to simmer until done.
  • Serve beans over rice, add hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
