Ingredients

  • 1 pound of dry red beans
  • 1 pound of Andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 stalks of celery, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven

Method

  1. Sort and rinse the dry red beans. Place them in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let soak for 1 hour. Drain and rinse.
  2. Heat the pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  6. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Add the cooked Andouille sausage back to the pot and stir to combine.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve over hot cooked rice.
