vegetarian (vegan?) red beans and rice was talked about for tonight
Care to clarify the ?
we ended up not making it. i just couldn't remember all the stuff that the beans cook with and what might be in the fake meat - was pretty sure there was nothing dairy but not positive. here is the emeril recipe i work off of, striking all the meat and adding some fake sausage of some kind:
1 pound dried red beans, rinsed and sorted over
3 tablespoons bacon grease
1/4 cup chopped tasso, or chopped ham
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1/2 pound smoked sausage, split in half lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound smoked ham hocks
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
10 cups chicken stock, or water
4 cups cooked white rice
1/4 cup chopped green onions, garnish
