Cajun Red Beans and Rice Cajun Red Beans and Rice
I had a bag of dry beans from the panic buying spree when the pandemic lockdowns began, but I never figured out what to do with them before now. I managed to score some Andouille sausage somewhere and found this recipe that seems like it would work with what I got. 🇺🇲 #cajun

Cajun style red beans and rice Cajun style red beans and rice
This is my husband's creation, he's made it for years. Now that I do all the cooking, I make it. I realize it's not an original recipe, only a twist on something pre-made, but it is still delicious either way! *For a non-spicy version use the Kielbasa and no Cajun seasoning, for a little bit of spice use the Andoullie. Also tastes great with chicken.

I discovered this recipe when I moved to New Orleans fourteen years ago. It is one of my go-to dishes when I don't have a lot of of time to cook and it always goes over well at a pot luck.

"Cajun Crack" Dirty Rice "Cajun Crack" Dirty Rice
Firstly, you may notice a difference in my recipe in contrast to the "traditional" one. Chicken giblets are bit rich for my palette and the chicken thighs to me are a better substitute and still make it "dirty". We don't have the same type of sausage (Andouille) that we get in Texas/Louisiana here in New Zealand, so the mince is a nice substitute and the shrimp (prawns)...well why not?!? Everything is better with shrimp.

Creamy Cajun Red Beans & Rice Creamy Cajun Red Beans & Rice
Red Beans and rice is a Cajun dish that used to be cooked on wash day. It's a meal you put on and slow cook for hours that way you can take care of the laundry! These days it is still a major part of Cajun cuisine. When money is tight I cook this using just 2 lbs of Manda sausage instead of using andoullie & Sausage. It's a good bargain but still flavorful sausage. The family can eat this for a few days served differently.You can easily half this recipe to cook only one pound of beans. I have a large family and what's left over I will use to make chilli.

When my kids were young, I wanted to make sure they didn't become picky eaters, so I chopped up many different ingredients and mixed them into dishes. This rice is one of those dish.If you over-cook the green pepper, it will lose its nice colour, so add it right at the end. You can also make variations of this to suit your main dish: try it with carrots, mushrooms, or parsley, etc. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei
