Absolutely fab meal, the red beans are given a new lease of life in this recipe. Being a head chef for some 25 years now at a top london restaurant i was pleasantly taken aback with the final outcome. A meal for all occassions thats filling, warming and wholesome throughout. Paul..

I would give it 5 stars based on the aroma alone! I had to feed a lot of people and didn't have enough kidney beans to triple the recipe, so I mixed in 1 lb. black beans with 1 lb small kidney beans and 1 lb large kidney beans. Also, had to use turkey sausage (doctors' orders...). With these changes, this recipe is a 5. Without them it would probably be a 7! Thank you, Miami!

The only change I made was substituting chicken broth for the water. It turned out great! No need to add salt.

I feel bad having to review this without actually being able to make the recipe as given (can't get my hands on sausage) - but what I did make was simply marvelous. Had to use spicy italian sausage (only 2, crumbled) and small red beans (not kidney), but the flavors were simply fantastic. Served with cornbread and salad and stumbled off to bed will full VERY satisfied tummy. Wonderful.

I loved it. My husband said it was good but wouldn't eat the leftovers... not too surprising. My daughter wouldn't touch it because of how it looked. Lol.

Really good! This recipe is the real deal. I did add a 1/4 can of tomato paste and 5 beef bullion cubes just to make the broth a little richer. It is a great recipe. Thank you!

These were really good, the only thing my husband said was that it reminded him of pinto beans(he's used to them out of the can), i however, can't complain, they were delicious. I had to stop myself from going back for a 3rd bowl. Great as left overs too. I served it with the buttermilk cornbread from this site.

This is about as close as you are gonna get to the authentic stuff. Per six cups of water I used 4 chicken boullion cubes, I also added a teaspoon of chili powder and half a teaspoon of cumin. I also used two cans of kidney beans instead of dried beans since that is what I had on hand. Aside from that I followed the recipe...good stuff, thanks for the recipe it is a keeper for our house. Oh yeah I strained out and mashed half of the beans toward the end of cooking and returned to the pot for the creamy consistency.

Fantastic. Everyone complaining about the dish not being salty enough, when you add the water and the cooked veggies to the beans, throw in 7 chicken boullion cubes that will salt it perfectly. I also substituted oregeno for the parsley and threw in some cumin and marjoram just for kicks. Also I used three bay leaves and kielbasa as I don't care for andouille. Superlative flavor.

This was a great recipe. I have just introduced red beans and rice to my family. A great source of iron without the loads of saturated fat. I like the use of all the vegetables. Everyone ate this meal even my little kiddos.

Very good recipe, one I will continue to tweak in the future. I added about 1/2 c. corn, a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes and about 1 c. okra after sauteeing them in olive oil with extra garlic and additional creole seasoning. I'd like to make this again, adding shrimp, crawfish or possibly both.
