Cajun Beans and Rice for 50
Ingredients
4 lbs red beans
2 gal water
3 bay leaves
3 Tbsp pepper, ground black
1 lb onions, diced
1 No. 10 can tomatoes, crushed
1/4 cup canola oil
3 lbs rice, preferably brown, raw
1 lb onions, diced
1 lb celery, diced
1 lb green pepper, diced
1 gal vegetable stock, unsalted
1 No. 10 can tomatoes, crushed
3 Tbsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup salt-reduced soy sauce
Directions
Soak beans overnight. Drain, add water, pepper and bay leaves. Bring to a
boil, lower heat and simmer until beans begin to split. Add onions and
tomatoes and continue to simmer, uncovered, until beans are tender (add
more water if necessary). In a large, heavy pot with a tight lid, heat Canola
Oil. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, over high heat until rice is toasted.
Add onions, celery, green pepper, stock, tomatoes and cayenne. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat to very low, cover and cook until rice is tender (45 minutes).
Stir in soy sauce. Serve beans over rice. Makes 50 servings.
