Red Beans on the Stove by The Cajun Ninja

[@TheCajunNinja]

RED BEANS & RICE Over the Stove 1 lb Raw Red Kidney Beans 1 Onion 1 Green Bell Pepper 3 Sticks of Celery 3 Cloves of Garlic 1 lb Smoked Sausage 1/2 lb Smoked Tasso 5 Cups of Water (for pre-boil) 2 Cups of Water (for simmer) 1 32oz Container of Chicken Broth 1 Tablespoon Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1 Teaspoon of Salt 1 Tablespoon of Parsley Flakes 2 Bay Leaves Rice Start out by heating a large size pot over a medium heat. Also have a medium pot ready off on the side. Chop the Onion, Bell Pepper, Celery, and Garlic. Move to a bowl off on the side. Slice the Sausage and cut up the Tasso. To the large pot add a small amount of oil. Drop in the sausage and tasso. Sear until you see a slight browning form on the meat. Roughly 5-10 minutes. Remove the meat from the pot to a bowl off on the side. Add the chopped vegetables to the pot, and slowly work the bottom. Try to get up all remaining drippings. Sauté for roughly 25 minutes. Meanwhile in the medium sized pot, add 5 cups of water, and the 32oz container of chicken broth. Turn the heat up to a high heat. Rinse the raw kidney beans in a strainer, and then add the beans to the pot of liquid. Once the pot has reached a rolling boil, start a timer, boiling for 10 minutes uncovered. After the 10 minute mark, turn the fire off. Once you’ve sautéed the vegetables for 25 minutes, add the beans and liquid to the large pot. Add an additional 2 cups of water. Add the Cajun Seasoning, Salt, Parsley Flakes, and Bay Leaves. Bring to a boil, cover, then lower heat to a simmering heat. Let simmer for two hours. With about an hour left, begin to cook some rice. After the two hour mark, uncover, and remove a few large spoonfuls of beans into a bowl on the side. Mash the beans in the bowl into a creamy mixture. Add the creamy mixture back to the pot. Continue this method until you reach your desired consistency. Ladle a serving over a bed of rice, and enjoy!

What can I substitute for the smoked Tasso? Can’t seem to find any in GA

[@jamesgarza1837]

@@burlo4025 smoked ham hock works well for adding the smoke flavor. But the meat isn't as appreciated by most to actually eat it. So I normally just add a half pound of sausage for extra meat and 1-2 smoked hame hocks for flavor in the meal

[@paulettemansion8855]

I just made these beans tonight. Delicious!

[@briandoucet2575]

If you're interested in a way to thicken it toward the end without adding anything or having to mash up your beans, bring it back up to a boil with the lid off for the last 5 minutes. Stir it ever so often. The key is just to make sure you have enough liquid to start with. I was born and raised in Lake Charles and it's how I've made mine for years. They come out creamy and delicious.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Brian Doucet oh for sure! The only thing is, doing it that way, you evaporate liquid. I enjoy doing it this way, because it covers more people. 😁👍🏻 But that's a great tip!

[@briandoucet2575]

Gotcha, and that makes sense. Totally agree about the evaporation, too. I account for that by adding a little more water at the beginning of the cooking process.

[@davidmayeux4412]

Brian Doucet ‘

[@percydarkspaner]

I do mine like that also

[@windellpenton]

Agree.. cook them down thick without the lid .. also I enjoy black pepper !! For giggles I add a heaping spoon of bacon grease .. cheers !!!

[@heatherjennings1449]

Soaking the beans the night before and discarding that water helps prevent getting gassy after eating the beans. Always a good thing! LOL I think it's because soaking them starts the sprouting process which activates enzymes in the beans making them easier to digest. This means we get more nutrition from them, too. Flavor wise, I don't think it makes much difference, though. Thanks for the head's up about the tasso. I've used ham hocks but adding tasso would be even better! Love your videos!!

[@percydarkspaner]

I always soak first

[@donnamorgantiderossette3693]

I soak mine, too. I also simmer & drain them three times. I simmer them until the white bubbles/foam collect on top of the beans. Each time l drain them, l clean the pot, run water over the beans, & put them back in the pot. After the third time l rinse the beans, l follow your recipe. Takes extra time, but l have found simmering & rinsing them helps with the digesting the enzyme oligosaccharide, which is what causes gas. I also add a half teaspoon of liquid smoke.

[@kathleenwheat334]

Wish I could get Tasso in Oklahoma

[@IslenoGutierrez]

In New Orleans we use “D&D” smoked sausage (Double D) and “pickle meat” (pickled pork) in our beans. But I’m sure the recipe in the video is a delicious Acadiana spin on a New Orleans classic.

[@_mojojojeaux]

Maybe I’m a carnivorous fool but I put sausage, Tasso, ham hocks and ham in my beans. With cornbread on the side sha. But used your seasoning this time (I doubled for two lbs of beans) but lordt. I brought this to work and even the patients wanted a bowl. Lmao. I’m born and raised in central Louisiana but moved south of I-10 two years ago. My grandma taught me a trick to soaking beans.. put them in a bowl of hot water. Microwave em for five minutes. They’ll bloat and release that enzyme that makes you all gassy.

[@lefthandsoloist]

I added 2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp of chili powder, 4 tsp of smoked paprika, all the drippings from the meat went into the beans from the collander before adding them to the final container, because I am Jeff the Chef, thank you for a perfect base recipe to add my ideas! Pi-yahh!

On The Lamb hey thanks!

[@26jhitt]

Dude, you have turned me into a Cajun cook with your recipes. Being from Southwest Louisiana, I never really learned how to cook too many good Cajun dishes. But Following your recipes have made it so easy. I made your crockpot red beans a while back and they were sooo delicious. I've used your gumbo recipe and made my very first roux from scratch and it was the best gumbo I've ever made. And today, I made your stove top red beans. They were delicious and I can't wait to have leftovers tomorrow night when I know they will be even better. I do have a question about your pots. What brand enamel cast iron pots do you have, and how many quarts is the bigger one you used in this recipe. I'm looking for some good enamel cast iron, and I would like an oval shaped one like you have. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us and for making them so easy to follow.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Joanna, this is fantastic! Bravo to you! As far as coated cast iron, I find my LeCreuset is the better pot. Although the oval one is an 8 Quart Fontignac.

[@thenuiotaaka1908]
