How to make red beans and rice:
Rinse kidney beans twice. Discard any that look bad. Put beans in a big heavy pot, at least three-quart size (four-quart is better.)Add water, ham and sausage. Set uncovered on a burner at medium heat. While the beans are soaking and warming, chop and add scallions, green pepper, celery and onions. Then add thyme and bay leaves. When the mixture boils, reduce heat and cover. Stir every 20-30 minutes for three hours. Then, with a wooden spoon, mash about one-fourth of the beams against the side of the pot. If they don't mash easily, try again after half an hour. Forty minutes after mashing the beans, taste and season with cayenne pepper or tabasco sauce. (Don't use too much; this is supposed to be delicious but subtly flavored.) Cook for another half an hour while preparing white rice. Ladle beans and sauce over rice and serve. 6 servings.Recipe categories: Pork, Beans, Rice.
