Red beans & rice — one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. ❤️
Now, I know it’s Saturday and not Monday, but in Louisiana, red beans & rice are traditionally a Monday meal. Years ago, Monday was wash day. Women needed something they could put on the stove and let simmer for hours while they tackled the week’s laundry. Sunday’s leftover ham or pork went into the pot, and a Louisiana tradition was born.
After a long, busy Saturday at Foodie Tasting Room and the temperatures dropping outside, nothing sounded better than a big bowl of red beans & rice.
And of course, mine were seasoned with Foodie Tasting Room C’est Bon Fusion, then finished with a drizzle of our Zesty Onion EVOO over the top and served with sweet, buttery cornbread on the side.
Warm, hearty, slow-cooked Louisiana comfort in a bowl. Sometimes you just can’t wait until Monday. ⚜️
