We finally have a good supply of Sangre de Toro beans available. These are part of the Rancho Gordo-Xoxoc Project and are ideal for New Orleans Red Beans and Rice recipes.
Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food has a simple but solid recipe for Red Beans and Andouille Sausage. (People give Martha a lot of flack but I have to say I’d rather cook from her books than Rachel Ray. I don’t have anything against Ray, but I do think Martha Stewart has better taste in almost everything. )
I made this recipe with the Lila beans I had on hand and it turned out great. I’d recommend a longer simmer period (mine were better after 2 1/2 hours), plus they’re even better the next day.
I just made a big ole pot of this and they are absolutely divine. God DAMN!
After I talked to you at the Fatted Calf last week, I made red beans and rice with these. They were wonderful. I cooked the beans for a long, long time, and they held their shape beautifully. Yum!
