Directions: |
Directions:Rinse the beans and place in a large pot filled with water. Turn heat on high. Add all of the other ingredients except for the rice and let come to a full boil. Yes, I put the meat in raw! Turn heat down to a very gentle boil and partially cover pot so the water won't evaporate too quickly. Stir occasionally, adding water as needed. Continue to cook until the beans are soft and the water has cooked down to your desired consistency. Taste and add salt as needed. Depending on the pickled pork, the added salt will differ. Cooking time could take up to 4-5 hours. |

Notes: Some people like their red beans soupy, some like them thick and creamy. The longer you continue to cook them after the beans become soft, depending on how much water you add, the thicker and creamier they become. Red beans make good leftovers and freeze well.
Don't forget the French Bread, Beet Salad or Harvard Beets and pass the Tabasco!
