Jodi's Red Beans & Rice
Jodi’s version, inspired by Treebeard’s
1 pound dry Kidney beans
8 cup water
1 cup onions, finely chopped
1 bell peppers, finely chopped
2 stalks of celery, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, pressed or chopped
15 oz canned crushed tomatoes
1 tsp Carmel Kosher Beef Broth
2 leaf bay leaf
2 tsp thyme
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 Tbsp soul seasoning
¼ tsp marjoram, dried
4 Boca Smoked Sausage
2 cup cooked brown rice
½ cup chopped green onions
Soak beans in 2 quarts water with the baking soda and epazote for at least 24 hours. Discard epazote. Drain and rinse very well.
Sauté vegetables until onions are clear. It is okay to barely brown the vegetables.
Add 2 quarts water, beans, only one of the smoked sausages and the rest of the ingredients.
Cook until beans begin to fall apart.
Slice the remaining sausages and brown them slightly in a frying pan coated with cooking spray. Divide the cooked sausages among the servings.
