This is based on the Southern Red Beans & Rice Recipe mixed with my family's recipe. This recipe has never had exact measurements, everything is to your preferred taste. Ingredients:
1 lb spicy turkey sausage, decased |
1 (8 ounce) can dark red kidney beans |
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning (more to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste) |
3/4 cup water |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional) |
1 cup frozen okra, cut (optional) |
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/4 cup water |
1 cup white rice |
2 cups boiling water |
Directions:
1. Decase sausages & place is skillet with enough oil or butter to prevent from sticking, brown.
2. Once browned add 1/2 cup water allow to simmer, once simmering add red beans (do not drain) and add additional 1/4 cup water. Add salt, Old Bay & cayenne, simmer for 15 minutes (add frozen okra after 5 minutes).
3. Mix 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch to 1/4 cup water, mix till smooth. (this prevents you from having lumpy gravy for any recipe).
4. Add cornstarch mixture to simmering pan of beans & meat; stir well. Reduce heat to low. (add more water if gravy is to thick).
5. In small sauce pan; bring 2 cups water to boil, add 1 cup rice and reduce heat to low. Cover pan & cook until rice is fluffy, about 10 minutes.
6. Place rice in bowl or on plate & cover with red beans & meat.
