Red Beans And Rice:

[Miss Scarlett]

This Southern Gal is cooking up a mess of red beans and rice for suppa' today. All you country cousins bring yo' favorite dish and come on over and
join in. We'll have a pot luck Suppa' fa' sho'. :nod

[MawMaw]

Yum that sounds so good! Do you put sausage in your beans?

Oh, and what time is suppa'? :D

[ILG]

I just made some of that last week! Mmm...good!

[Miss Scarlett]

We don't have a specific time for suppa' so pop in anytime. I do put sausage in my beans Lacey. That hubby wants some MEAT. LOL

If you like it hot, add a lot of Tony's Seasoning to taste. I like mine mild.

Who still Soaks their dry beans before cooking them? Old folks used to think you had to soak them overnight in order for them to cook tender. That's only an old wives tale or a superstition. Dried red beans are done when cooked only a couple of hours without the soak.

[ILG]

Good to know! I thought they had to be soaked!

I think for a couple of reasons they soaked them over night...to speed cooking and its suppose to help with gas issues if they are soaked and rinsed...I have never done that, I just start mine early in the day...hummm think I might have to get a hock out of the freezer and cook up some white beans and ham! OH yummies too!

We don't have the same red beans here in Oregon like in Louisiana or least that was what I was told a long time ago. I know I only find red kidney beans in the store and that is not the same thing the lady I knew used, when we lived in the south and the friends we made from New Orleans she used to cook them every Monday...we were honored to share their dinner table a few times! She put sausages in her beans too...:thumbsup

I cook red beans and rice at least once a week! It is one of my husband's favorite meals. I do soak them overnight and use only Camellia Beans. They are creamier! And of course you have to serve them with fresh garden tomato slices, cucumber and buttermilk cornbread and bread and butter pickles!! Now that is good eating!

According to my Mom and the Bean Institute: Soaking has two major benefits. It reduces the cooking time and it breaks down the compounds in beans that cause flatulence. ��

That's a delicious combo Blubayou. My Mother made the best sweet pickles I've ever eaten. I love my cornbread. I bake it in an iron skillet for a crusty crunchy crust, and I always add a tablespoon of sugar to the mix.

We were in Ill. for a few months while my husband was doing construction work and they did not sell red beans or grits anywhere near us. We could get lots of pinto beans, but they're not nearly the same.

Do you have your mama's pickle recipe?

I also add a little sugar to my cornbread mix.

I think I will look on the net for an online source!
