Treebeard's Red Beans (And Rice)
RECIPE BY: PanNan
This recipe is quite a favorite at Treebeards' restaurant in Houston. It's posted in response to a request. Cooking time does not include the pre-soak or pre-boil time. To make it South Beach friendly, substitute low fat turkey smoked sausage for the regular smoked sausage, and serve with brown rice.

Ingredients
Directions
1
Sort and wash red beans. In a large soup pot, add 2 qrts cold water and red beans. Let soak overnight. (To speed up the process, you can bring them to a boil, simmer 2 minutes, remove from heat and let stand 1 hour before the next step.) DO NOT DRAIN WATER!2
Add onions, celery, and bell pepper to beans and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to simmer about 1 1/2 hours, or until beans are soft. DO NOT STIR MORE THAN NECESSARY.3
Stir in seasonings and sausage. Simmer 30 minutes more.4
Meanwhile cook a pot of rice, and serve the beans over the hot cooked rice, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onion.5
Note: Don't stir more than necessary - you don't want mushy beans. If you want thicker beans, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking time, or remove 1/2 cups of the beans and mash them before returning to the pot.

This was a good, hearty meal which doesn't cost very much to make...I will make it again - my DH and company enjoyed it with cornbread. It only got four stars because it just didn't knock my socks off! Thanks for posting it!

This has been a staple in our house since I first tried the recipe months ago. Not only is it delicious but it's hearty, relatively inexpensive and serves a good amount for a young couple like us. (Also gluten-free!) Recently I have been throwing out the bean water and replacing it with regular water to lessen the gas this dish can induce. I think it helps and we haven't noticed a change in taste.
