Hi Luella,
Well, as promised, I tried the Red Beans & Rice last night and to say that they're delicious is an understatement. Thanks so much for the recipe, and please keep 'em coming.
Glad you liked the Shrimp Gumbo. I also have a Vegan Gumbo that I'm kinda partial to.
1/4 tsp allspice
3 whole cloves
1 cup corn kernels
1 diced green pepper
1 cup cooked lima beans
1 1/2 cup sliced okra
1 chopped onion
1 tsp salt
2 cups diced tomatoes
4 cups vegetable stockwater for sauteeing
Saute onion, green pepper, and cloves in a dry nonstick pan until soft (use medium heat). Add water as necessary to prevent sticking. Remove cloves.
Put onion mixture, tomatoes, vegetable stock, lima beans, corn, okra, salt and allspice in your crockpot.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serve on brown rice or as a thick soup.
I saute the onion mixture in extra virgin olive oil, but that adds a little fat, of course.
You can also add a little salt to the onions as they cook, to draw water out of them and make them less likely to stick. I tend to look at Salt as an Enemy so needless to say, I don't prefer this method.
It's great to me that we can still keep that spicy taste in and still eat healthy. Thanks again my Friend.
Have A Blessed Weekend,
Phil
