Red Beans and Rice

By Inés Anguiano

Red beans and rice is a Louisiana Creole classic built on tender red beans, smoky sausage, and the “holy trinity” of onion, celery, and green bell pepper, all served over fluffy white rice. In this version, the andouille is diced rather than sliced into the more traditional coins, so each spoonful gets a pop of texture and flavor. Dried kidney beans are worth planning ahead for here.
