Red Beans and rice is a staple and tradition in New Orleans, and we love them anytime, this recipe is a modified version that follows the Eat To Live Guidelines with no oil, salt or meat added, and is a vegetarian addition to our healthy lifestyle arsenal. To make up for the lack of sausage or ham I used a beef stock for added flavor, and the beans came out just as tasty as ever without any animal protein. Crystal hot sauce is our personal favorite, because it has the spiciness you want from a hot sauce, and it won’t overpower with flavor like some other favorite hot sauces will do on dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
