Zatarain's red beans and rice taste-alike?
 
Anyone have a recipe for red beans and rice that tastes like the
Zatarain product? For my budget, the ~$2 price is pretty steep
for what you get.

If not, I'll try stretching it with added rice after it's
prepared.

Ken: I found that Ztarain's has a slight metallic taste to it.
It's just as easy to make your own, and to taylor it to your own
taste.

As a basic starter thy this.


Red Beans & Rice

1 lb red beans
2 smoked ham hocks
1 pound sausage ( cajun or italian) sliced 1/4 " thick
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup dice celery
salt and pepper to taste
Add any spices mixture you like, try a cajun one. ( Zatrain's, Tony
Chachere's , Emeril's or find one on the net)
Every thing in a pot, cover with water.
Cook until the beans are tender.

Add equal part of cooked rice just before serving.
