Red Beans and Rice with Sausage

Rice

This red beans and rice recipe was given to me by my sister. It's a hearty dish — wonderful for the cold winter months. To make it a little meatier, I cut up a small ham steak into cubes and add in the last 20 minutes.

Ingredients

2 cups dried red beans
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
½ teaspoon dried minced garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
1 ham hock
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
hot cooked rice

Description

Pick over dried beans and soak them in water overnight.
The next day, drain off the soaking water, and place beans in a large pot or slow cooker. Cover with water and stir in dried onion and garlic. Season with salt, sugar, celery seed, cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Add in ham hock and push down into beans. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 hours.
Stir in smoked sausage, simmer for 20 more minutes; serve over hot cooked rice.
