Spent the early morning chopping and stirring, with the upshot being that red beans and rice were ready to go when I got home (with the dull addition of plain broccoli). The recipe came from Serious Eats, and it is good but not great, although I blame myself: I used a chicken andouille which was not super flavorful and moreover I didn't have the called-for amount; I had no ham hocks at all, and I ought to have salted the beans more from the beginning. Still, it was pretty good and I think it could be adapted with another (less pricey) sausage. I am thinking that the extra smoky garlic kielbasa from that little market in South Deerfield would be awesome here.
