Red Beans and Rice
Traditionally, red beans and rice is served on Mondays, especially during the Mardi Gras season. It is generally made using dried beans and smoked pork sausage, but here's a flavorful, "hurried up" version with canned beans. Canola oil helps brown the lean turkey sausage and keep saturated fat in check.
INGREDIENTES
- 2 Tbsp canola oil 30 mL
- 6 oz smoked turkey sausage, thinly sliced 170 g
- 1½ cups diced onions 375 mL
- 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cans (15 oz/443 mL each) no-salt-added red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tsp dried thyme leaves 5 mL
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 Tbsp Louisiana hot sauce 15 mL
- 1/4 tsp salt 1 mL
- 3 cups hot cooked brown rice 750 mL
INSTRUCCIONES
- 1. In Dutch oven, heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil over medium-high heat. Sauté sausage 2-3 minutes or until richly browned on edges, stirring frequently. Set aside on separate plate. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and cook 4 minutes or until beginning to lightly brown, stirring frequently. Stir in garlic and cook 15 seconds, stirring constantly.
- 2. Add beans, thyme and bay leaves. Stir in sausage, hot sauce, salt and remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil. Heat until cooked through. Serve over rice.
