Ingredients
1 package Camellia Red Kidney Beans or 1 pound bag of red kidney beans8 cups water1 cup onion, diced1 cup celery, diced1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced1/4 cup parsley, chopped1 package Turkey Sausage, cut into bit size pieces1/4 cup crushed garlic1 cup green onions, sliced
In order for the red beans to cook faster, soak the red beans overnight in cold water. If not, then you will add to the cook time.
In a large sauce pot or dutch oven, render sliced sausage over medium-high heat. When browned on both sides,remove meat. Add onions, celery, garlic, green onions. Sauté approximately 5 - 10 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add smoked sausage and beans. Blend well with vegetables and cook 2 - 3 minutes. Add enough cold water to cover beans by approximately 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil and allow to cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.
Reduce heat to simmer and cook approximately 1 hour or until beans are tender. Stir from time to time, as beans will settle to the bottom of the pot as they cook. Add chopped parsley. Season to taste using salt and your favorite hot sauce.
Using a metal spoon, mash approximately 1/3 of the beans against the side of the pot to create a creaming effect. Once the beans are tender and creamy, they are ready to be served.
Makes six servings (approximately 1 cup cooked beans plus 2 oz sausage.) Serve with rice. (not included in nutrition.)
This tastes wonderful but tastes even better if made a day in advance so the flavors blend.
