I was born in New Orleans, so I am very familiar with red beans and rice. Mom made them every week. Yes, Camelia beans.

Do you get them at your stores there or did you have to have them shipped to you?

Just got back from the store. Whole bottom shelf is various Camellia beans

Looks outstanding.! Just my cup of tea. Would love to make it but can't find when to add the beans to it. With the chicken broth? Thanks

Thanks bud. Rinse beans after the soak. Then put back in pot. Add the Trinity and sausage and bacon. Then broth and spices. This keeps everything from splashing when adding the Trinity and other goodies but either way is fine. Once everything is together bring to boil, cover and reduce heat to low. It will stay at a low boil. Follow the rest of the directions from there. Let me know how you like it

Jake, I cannot stop thinking of this! Quick question and forgive me if I overlooked… you said an hour before serving to mash up a cup of beans! Do you reserve a cup to the side at some point? Also, that cornbread of your wife’s is still in my head! I’m a redneck from SE ID, but have been and always will be a HUGE fan of Cajun food!

Lol no problem bud. I wouldn't reserve a cup. They need to cook and soak up all the Cajun goodness. The veggies almost become non existent by the end of the cook so scooping some of them out isn't an issue. In the past I've scooped out a cup and pick out any sausage and mashed them. Nowadays I just use a wooden spoon and trap them around the edges of the pot and mash them until I get the creamy texture I'm looking for. Roughly a cup though. Then that half stick butter brings all that mash together. Mashing them around the edges works better for me. Less mess and less time
