SLOW COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until the onion is limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and sage (if using); grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then remove from the heat and scrape the mixture into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker.
• Add the beans, bay leaves, thyme, sausage, ham hock and 6 cups water. Cook on high until the beans are very tender and creamy, about 7 hours.
• If your beans are not bubbling at all by the time they are done cooking, turn the heat up to high and let them bubble for about 10 minutes, to make them easier to digest.
• Before serving, add salt or cayenne to taste. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, mash some of the beans against the side of the slow cooker to make the mixture slightly creamy. (It will continue to thicken as it sits.) Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs; you can pick the meat off the ham hock if you like. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.

Steps:

• Sort the beans, discarding damaged beans and any small stones you might find. Rinse them, put them in a large bowl, and cover with about 2 quarts of water. Let stand at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
• In the morning, drain the beans and transfer them to the crockpot.
• Peel the onion and chop it coarsely.
• Slice the bell pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Chop the pepper.
• Dice the celery.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
• Add the cooked vegetables to the beans along with the ham bone, minced garlic, and 1 1/2 quarts water. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
• Turn heat to low and cook, covered, for about 4 to 7 hours, or until the beans are tender.
• If desired, in a heavy skillet over medium heat, brown about 1 cup of sliced or diced spicy smoked sausage (such as andouille). Add it to the beans about an hour before they're ready.
• Remove ham bone and mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the remaining liquids. Remove the meat from bone; dice it and return it to the pot of beans.
• Meanwhile, cook the rice as directed on the package.
• Season the beans with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spoon the beans and some liquid over servings of rice and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
