Pableaux Johnson, a New Orleans-based photographer and writer known for regularly dishing out red beans and rice to friends and strangers at his Uptown home and on the road, died Sunday, January 26, 2025. He was 59 years old. https://nola.eater.com/2025/2/4/24358892/remembering-pableaux-johnson #foodstudies #RedBeansAndRice

I wish Mastodon had smell-o-vision because these red beans smell fantastic.

Red beans last night before bed. Red beans this morning. #redbeansandrice #NewOrleans

New Orleans red beans and rice (with oil and vinegar) for this NOLA girl on a cold, crappy Seattle day. Whole lotta Slap Ya Mama too.

Serve over white rice, with sliced green onions (not pictured) extra hot sauce to taste, some crusty French bread, and perhaps a cold beer.

Once everything comes to a boil, reduce the heat until it is gently but steadily simmering.

Over the next three hours, the magic happens. Check back on the pot every so often to give everything a stir and make sure it’s simmering. Sometimes I go a bit longer than 3 hours, sometimes a bit less. You’re looking for soft but whole beans and a rich gravy that will eventually develop.

Then in goes: the boiled beans, two packages of sliced andouille, two bay leaves, a few dashes of Worcestershire, many dashes of Louisiana-style hot sauce (I greatly prefer Crystal, but Tabasco certainly works), salt, red and black pepper.

Cover with water and bring everything to a boil.

Sauté the mirepoix and andouille for about 8-10 minutes until it’s all softened. Then add crushed/diced garlic and 1-2tsp of crushed dried thyme. How much garlic? I like a ton so usually 8+ cloves but as long as you’re using at least four there’s no wrong answer here.

Cook the garlic for another ~minute (until you start to smell it).

While the beans are boiling, render the fat from one 12 oz package of andouille sausage, diced. I do this in a bit if vegetable oil, but it’s not strictly necessary if you start cooking the sausage on low.

After you’ve rendered some fat and the andouille has browned, add your mirepoix (I do 1 red bell pepper (green is traditional), 5 ribs of celery, and one large onion). Salt and pepper to taste.

Let’s make some red beans and rice! This is—hands down—my favorite dish. I could eat it every week and never grow bored. It’s the ultimate comfort food for me.

My recipe is adapted from https://www.gumbopages.com/food/red-beans.html

You can start with dried kidney beans and the results will be fantastic. But to really plus it up, it’s worth seeking out these Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo beans.
