Traditional Red Beans and Rice are made with tasso, ham, and/or sausage. Aiming for a more heart-healthy dish, I don’t include those in my red beans. Between the seasonings and the chicken stock, I have noticed no dilution of the flavor. Also, with the possible exception of the parsley, the rest of the ingredients are usually on hand as staples in my kitchen. With minimal preparation time, these are perfect for a busy day at home.
