Red Beans and Rice

Red Beans and Rice

Mardi Gras 2006! I needed a quick recipe for red beans and rice. It's amazing how hard it is to find a recipe for a know item in my vast collection of cookbooks. Vegetarian Classics: 300 Essential and Easy Recipes for Every Meal by Jeanne Lemlin to the rescue. I had red beans and rice on the table in 30 minutes. I added a diced chipotle in adobo sauce at the end of cooking for smokey heat.
