Alix–I am very, very glad you enjoyed the recipe and are liking the blog.

The reason that I didn’t soak the beans is because I was using a pressure cooker–you can soak beans before cooking them that way, but I never remember to. The time savings is about fifteen minutes or so–not really a worry.

If you ever get a chance to cook with a pressure cooker, give it a try….you may find that you like it better than your slow cooker.

I just wanted to thank you once again for a wonderful recipe. It was funny that you posted it not a few days after I was realizing I had never had red beans–so when your recipe did come up, I took it as a sign that it was time I did! I made them on the stovetop a week ago and loved it so much I’m making it again this week, attempting a crockpot version.

I continue to love reading your blog.

I made this last night – vegetarian style – and absolutely loved it. Thank you for all of the technique advice that you offer here on your gorgeous blog. It just goes to show that when you take your time and use incredible ingredients, the best flavors shine through! Can’t wait to eat my leftovers tonight!

Gorgeous, gorgeous recipe. Fast, easy, delicious, healthy and, just as important, the leftovers taste just as good the next day!

Oh how I love Cajun/Creole food.

Cheers!
