VENESSA WILLIAMS' NEW ORLEANS-STYLE VEGETARIAN RED BEANS AND RICE
This is a meatless version of a beloved local classic. Red beans and rice are typically served at the beginning of the week in New Orleans, since Mondays were traditionally dedicated to the labor-intensive task of laundry, domestic workers prepared long-simmering stovetop dishes that required little attention. Camellia brand red beans, easily ordered online, are the classic choice for local New Orleans chefs, but any brand of kidney beans works fine; leaving the beans unsalted during cooking allows them to cook

Steps:
- Cooked rice, for serving (about 6 cups for a full batch). Rinse and drain the beans three times and transfer to a large (at least 8-quart) saucepan with a lid. Add 7 cups water and all of the ingredients except the rice. Bring the beans to a boil, then cover tightly, reduce the heat to medium, and let cook, stirring once after about an hour, until they are tender and the liquid has thickened, 2 to 2½ hours. Remove from the heat and season with salt. Serve the beans over the cooked rice with Cajun Moon Funky Fried Chicken.
