Authentic Louisiana Red Beans and Rice

Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with hot sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

How to Make It

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Rinse beans, and then soak in a large pot of water overnight.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Rinse beans, and transfer to a large pot with 6 cups water. Stir cooked vegetables into beans. Season with bay leaves, parsley, thyme, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, and sage. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
  5. Stir sausage into beans, and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the rice. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve beans over steamed white rice.
