A flavorful and hearty Creole-inspired dish featuring red beans and andouille sausage, served over rice.
Rinse and sort the dried red kidney beans, removing any debris.
Soaking the beans overnight reduces cooking time and improves texture.
Place the beans in a large pot with 2 quarts of water. Cover and let soak overnight.
If short on time, bring the beans and water to a boil, then let them sit for 1 hour instead.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Avoid stirring too often to prevent the beans from breaking apart.
Stir in the salt, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves. Add the sliced andouille sausage. Simmer for another 30 minutes.
For a thicker consistency, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot.
Cook the rice according to package instructions.
Using a rice cooker can simplify this step and ensure perfectly cooked rice.
Serve the beans and sausage over the cooked rice. Garnish with optional toppings like chopped green onions or shredded cheese.
Serve with a side of cornbread for a complete Southern-inspired meal.
