Red Beans And Rice With Smoked Sausage And Bananas

You see, the home is the greenhouse to protect and nurture our children. And when it is done right, children come to appreciate and trust their parent’s instruction. After time they come to understand that their rules are intended for good. They begin to see the parallel that the same applies for the rules God gives to us as well. They understand these rules come from a loving spiritual Father that desires our lives to be blessed. Consequences result when children disobey their parents. Consequences always result with people disobey God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Now here's my favorite red beans and rice dish - not Southern but
Caribbean. It's another one from The San Antonio Herb Society
Cookbook.  (Fran Rich)  Don't be tempted to skip the bananas - they
give this recipe a real  Caribbean flavor! Pass the salsa for those who
want a little more  kick.  SautÃ© onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon
olive oil until softened; add  to beans along with broth, cumin, curry,
oregano, jalapeno, rice,  cilantro and tomatoes. Cover and cook over
medium-low heat until rice  is barely tender, about 15 minutes. Add
peas, cover, and set aside.  Brown sausage slices in a skillet, adding
a tiny bit of olive oil if  necessary. Remove from pan and place on
rice. Slice bananas; sautÃ©  in butter until lightly browned. Serve
rice and beans surrounded by  browned sausage and bananas.  Serves 6.
