    These look delicious! Many people don't know the combination ofbeans and rice makes a complete protein. As a food insecure senior citizen, I rely on beans and rice as a staple of my diet.

    Just an addition on making the best beans. For every 1.5 cups of sorted and cleaned beans, take 1 quart of water and 2 Tablespoons of kosher salt (1 Tablespoon if using regular salt), combine and let sit at room temperature overnight. Drain and rinse well. Place beans in a pot cover with 2 inches of water and cook on low heat until tender~ 30-40 minutes. The brining salt does not enter the bean so you can season as you normally would. The seed coats of brined beans don't split and the bean centers are soft and creamy and cook in half the time.
    For the science search:
    Cook's Illustrated: Brining Beans
    Doing this really makes a difference. I soak my beans in a 1 quart wide mouth canning jar which makes the whole process easier.

      An additional bit of useful info; if you have extremely hard water, use distilled for your soaking, it goes a long way and works better than adding baking soda

      @@JimWarp93 Hi Jim, Sorry to hear that. I don't know how experienced a cook you are and don't want to offend you by giving un asked for advice but the corner stone factor in making really good beans is to use beans that are as fresh as you can get. Preferably no more that a year or two. Read what Rick Bayless in his first cookbook "Mexico One Plate at a Time" has to say about cooking beans. In Rick's Chicago restaurant they cook about 500 pounds of dry beans a week so he knows of what he talks about. Commercial bean canners brine their beans so when they're canned the seed coats remain in tact. If you have a Hispanic market in your community try using their bulk beans because they don't stay around as long as the packaged ones do.

      @@randmayfield5695 No offence taken at all ! I am always happy to learn - Mexican or "southern" food is deemed exotic where I live... nothing close to a hispanic market nearby.
      I usually get my kidney beans in a can (complete with a rather different taste ... guess it's the alkaline (?) brine).
      BTW: what does real Cajun seasoning consist of?

    I love the history! My mother's family came from Puerto Rico, but I grew up in the Bronx. The first time I went to New Orleans, I was blown away, because so much of the NOLA iconic dishes aren't too different from what I grew up eating. Love the recipe, love the cooking, and LOVE the context. I could eat rice and beans any day!

    Dry beans and I take a smoked ham hock, peel the skin, cube the meat, brown the skin a bit and throw the bone in there with the beans. I dump the soak water and use chicken stock too. And my green pepper is poblano. Cubed ham goes on later often with andoullie.

    Yep, we native New Orleanians all know how to survive on beans & rice with some ham hock, sausage or salt pork, plus some eggs & chicken from the yard. Grits & oatmeal for breakfasts. Irish stew/pot roasts. Spaghetti & meat sauce.

    I love red beans and rice. I also love Cuban black beans.
    I usually combine the two ideas, maybe throw in a little something extra to change it up a bit (ginger goes so well with both!)
    Definitely a favorite of mine to eat throughout the week.

    Im puerto rico from the Carribean as well we eat red beans and rice almost every day with plantains! Platanos y arroz con habichuelas ! We use sofrito but the ingredients are very similar to what you used the green bell pepper and onions.
    Taino people also occupied puerto rico. Its such a great mixture of cuisine in the Caribbean!

    • @doodahgurlie
      @doodahgurlie Рік тому +3

      Yeah, I always thought you have to use new water as the soaked beans leave the undesirable stuff behind in the water. We (SE Asian here) soak our beans overnight before cooking).

    • @CourageUnderFire87
      @CourageUnderFire87 10 місяців тому +1

      When you soak the beans overnight you don’t have to cook them as long. Usually if you soak them overnight the beans should take up to 1 1/2 hours to cook. She must have not soaked her beans long enough to be cooking them for two hours lol. You don’t have to soak the beans a lot people don’t because when you soak them you run the risk of the beans busting open during the cooking process. The beans will take around 3 hours if you don’t soak them.
