I did not grow up eating red beans & rice. I discovered them on a trip to New Orleans and it was love at first bite. Coming from the Mississippi Delta, I put a regional spin on my pot of Camellia red beans and serve them with a piece of warm cornbread.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (1-lb.) package Camellia Brand Red Beans
  • 1 pound neck bones, smoked
  • 1 pound ham hocks, smoked
  • 8 cups vegetable stock or water
  • 4 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 3 small cayenne peppers, dried
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Yield:
6-8

Directions:

    1. Rinse and drain beans. Place beans in a large bowl, and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Set aside and soak overnight.
    2. Drain beans and add them to a heavy bottomed 6-quart stock pot. Add neck bones, ham hocks, stock, Cajun seasoning, cayenne peppers, and red pepper flakes.
    3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 30 minutes, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 4 to 6 hours, or until beans are tender. Add additional stock as needed.
    4. Adjust seasoning to taste, and serve with warm cornbread.
