Some of these places, I wonder if they’re even around anymore.
New Orleans: the Holiday Inn restaurant near the downtown area, it was the nice one. I had some great Red Beans and Rice with sausage.
San Francisco: The Sears restaurant outside the Wyndham.
Providence, Rhode Island: Hemenway’s.

I went to New Orleans and got some really good food at the Holiday Inn restaurant there. I haven’t had anything like it since. Why hasn’t anyone come up with a good New Orleans chain restaurant?
I had red beans, rice and sausage or something like that. It was really good.

I am making red beans and rice for the first time tonight. I am using dried red beans, but I have one more hour to go on simmer, and my beans are still dry inside. I soaked them overnight, too
Is there something that I can do to soften the beans for dinner tonight still?

I have a can of red beans, bag of rice, and some cajun seasoning. How can I make red beans and rice?
My father doesn’t eat meat.
Turns out 2 tablespoons of seasoning did it!

If I make red beans and rice with pinto beans will I lose flavor? What about using both?

I want to have a cajun themed dinner with jambalaya, red beans and rice, and shrimp gumbo. What kind of meat and veggies will compliment the cajun theme? I am making this dinner for a large group of people.
Thanks for your help.

Some butterfly shrimp and sausage pieces in there too. Along with some sharp cheddar folded in. Love pot luck omelets, I’ll try anything, once. Things like red beans & rice, different bean soups, chilli, or gumbo, etc. all seem to improve their flavour if left to age a bit. (say 24 hours) Why too, is that t?

What is a mettwurst? Do you think it will taste good in reds beans and rice? I usually put smoked sausage in my red beans and rice but I didn’t have any.

Normally I would add smoked ham hocks but could not find any here. So I grabbed a package of non smoked pork neck bones and wondered if they could be used in my LA red beans and rice recipe which uses dried kidney beans so it cooks all day, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf or two. Ham hock would be added after the beans had been cooking a little while with veggies added. Seems to me it would be a fair trade off but never used neck bones before. Is this okay substitution?

There are a lot of unique foods that the Japanese have never tried that i think you would enjoy like:
Spicy fried chicken.
Red beans and rice.
Barbequed ribs
Barbequed brisket
Sweet potato pie.
Apple cobbler
Peach cobbler
And more
Feel free to comment my Japanese brothers and sisters.

I am making red beans and rice, however all the recipes have allot of sodium or unhealthy ingredients.
I love Emeril but his recipe has sausage, bacon grease ham hocks and bacon. This is a little overboard
I don’t have to have it be a vegetarian dish but im leaning more towards that. Does anyone have a good healthy& flavorful alternative to the pork riddled version on Essence of Emeril? BTW making it with greens and cornbread.HELP!
