Any time someone asks the question, 'What exactly is soul food?' the answer should always be 'a comforting bowl of red beans and rice.' Just sit them down, give them a spoon, and when they finish, ask them if they understand. They will.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 pound dry red kidney beans
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 ounces andouille sausage, diced
1 cup finely diced onion
¾ cup chopped celery
¾ cup poblano peppers
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 quarts chicken broth, or more as needed
1 smoked ham hock
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
hot sauce to taste
4 cups cooked white rice
2 tablespoons chopped green onion, or to taste

Steps:

Place beans in a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage in hot oil until oils slightly release from sausage and edges brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir onion, celery, and poblano pepper into sausage; cook and stir until vegetables soften and start to turn translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir garlic into sausage mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir red beans, chicken broth, ham hock, bay leaves, black pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce into the sausage mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours. Add salt and continue simmering until beans are soft, meat is tender, and desired consistency is reached, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Season with salt.
Spoon rice into bowls, ladle red beans mixture over rice, and top with green onion.

EASY ROASTED RED KIDNEY BEANS WITH A KICK (VEGAN)

Easy Roasted Red Kidney Beans With a Kick (Vegan) image

Need to get both simple carbs and a good protein quotient in after a workout? I've been on a roasting frenzy lately with various legumes to have a quick, hot, nutritious dish that doesn't yield much (since I'm cooking for just me.) I use Recipe #389616 but storebought works too. This is great to have with a salad, piece of bread or fruit but would also make a nice side dish for a sit-down dinner. Simple and cheap too!
