New Red Beans And Rice Experiment...

[Biker]

This is how I'm starting:

2 boxes of Zatarain's New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice.
1 1/3lb left over BBQed boneless pork ribs.
2/3lb left over corned beef.
One large diced onion.
One large diced green bell pepper.

I'm gonna brown the ribs and corned beef in bacon fat, saute the onion and bell pepper in garlic butter, then combine the two with the pre-cooked cooked Red Beans and Rice.

I'll let y'all know how it turns out in a couple of hours.

i want some...sounds great

[whskyfan]

Hey Biker, you still breathin'? Been waitin' for the update.

[maryals]

I am gonna steal that recipe!

Maybe we should wait a bit Mary..... At least until we make sure Biker is ok.

[Biker]

Good God A'Mighty! That's some fine stuff. Make ya wanna slap yo Mama!

Having said that, the recipe as it stands could easily feed a small tribe of pygmies for a month. Think I'll halve it next time. It's some filling stuff. After me and Miss IG ate a bowl of my new creation, we were out like lights.

Only thing I'd change is to add some nice, hot buttered cornbread on the side.

Oh, BTW, I added a small punch of ground red pepper to the veggies. Oh Lordy, was it good.

Biker...Burp

Glad your creation turned out well Biker. I'm sure Miss IG was happy to have you cook for her too!!

O.K....now we need a good recipe for corn bread from you!!!

Now, that's a "beefed-up, porked-up variation! I wonder if I can get any natives to try this one. The original usually has only sausage in it.

By the way, Red Beans and Rice are a tradition on Mondays in the Big Easy. In the "old days", Monday was wash day and the woman of the house put the beans on to cook early in the morning, so she had all day to wash and iron and sweep the front stoop!

So, biker, was it really good enough to ?????

[IronsGold]

Heh! Yup, it really was good enough to slap yo Mama! I LOVE it when Biker cooks!

Hey Whskyfan! Biker's alive and kicking, judging from his..er..."active night"!!

[Delphine]

Now, I might get some New Orleanians I know to try this, Ironsgold. Rumor had it only raw oysters did the trick!

[IronsGold]

Alpha, you're right! Corn Bread is called for!

Delphine? Aren't you are resident "Southern Belle"? More like our "Steel Magnolia"! But with any name, got a recipe?

Oysters eh? At this point, I'll try anything! But personally, I LOVE oysters!

Hold on! Where you talking about his "night time emissions"? If you were refering to his "other" activities, I'm staying clear of oysters! He's all I can handle as it is!!!

Roly Poly
Eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly
Gnawin' on a biscuit
As long as she can chew it it's okay

She can eat an apple pie
And never even bat an eye
She likes anything from soup to hay
Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
I bet she's gonna be a big girl someday

Roly Poly
Scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly
She eats a hearty dinner
He needs lots of strength to sing and play

She's up at dawn to do the chores
And he runs both ways through all the stores
She works up an appetite that way
Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
Fatty's gonna be a big girl someday
