In 2011 I wrote: Today is Mardi Gras also known as "Fat Tuesday". It's a day to eat some rich and fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. You can eat this Mardi Gras Dirty Rice and Bean as a side dish or as a main dish. This is a great dish to use up leftover rice. If you do not have leftover rice, then make the rice in advance and allow to cool before starting the cooking process. You may want to make it Fat Tuesday once a week after eating this rice dish.
Ingredients:
1lb hot sausage
1/2 lean ground beef
1 can drained and rinsed red kidney beans
1 large bell pepper diced
1 Tbs minced (or grated) fresh garlic
1 large onion diced
2-3 celery stalks diced
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp paprika
black pepper and salt to taste
red chili flakes to taste
1 (15oz) diced tomatoes
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
Several dashes hot sauce (to taste)
2 Tbs fresh parsley minced
5-6 cups cooked cool/cold rice
Directions:



Serves 4-6 people. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteKidney beans being a decent wellspring of potassium, magnesium, soluble and protein help decrease hypertension. Together these components help in keeping up typical blood pressure. Purchase red kidney beans from red kidney beans wholesaler for marketing competitive price.
