Ingredients:
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1/2 lb andouille sausage, cut into chunks
- 1 cup dried red beans, rinsed and soaked overnight
- 4 oz can of tomato paste
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large clove minced garlic
- 2 small bay leaves (or 1 large)
- 3 cups water
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper
- cooked rice, for serving
Start by preheating the oven to 300 degrees. In a large dutch oven (or large saucepan), heat the oil over medium-high heat; saute the onion and pepper and sprinkle with salt and pepper. After 2 - 3 minutes, add the sausage and garlic, stirring to make sure the garlic does not burn. When vegetables have a little color, add the tomato paste, water, beans, bay leaves, oregano, cayenne, 1 tsp kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Stir to combine, and bring to a boil before transferring to the preheated oven.
Bake for 1 hour, stirring after 30 minutes. Taste the beans for tenderness; if they are still not soft enough, continue to bake the dish. Discard the bay leaves; serve the beans over hot cooked rice. Enjoy!
