Steps:
- Put the dried beans in a large bowl or container and cover with water. Soak overnight in the refrigerator. Drain well.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, scallion whites, celery, bell pepper and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute.
- Add the beans, 8 cups fresh water, the ham hock, bay leaves, cayenne, sage, thyme and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are creamy and tender, about 2 hours. Add a few tablespoons water if the beans get too thick.
- Meanwhile, combine the rice and 3 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender, and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit until ready to serve.
- Remove the ham hock from the beans and pull the meat off the bone. Chop the meat and stir it back into the beans; season with salt. Sprinkle with the vinegar; add more to taste. Divide the rice and beans among bowls; top with the scallion greens and hot sauce.
TREEBEARD'S RED BEANS (AND RICE)
This recipe is quite a favorite at Treebeards' restaurant in Houston. It's posted in response to a request. Cooking time does not include the pre-soak or pre-boil time. To make it South Beach friendly, substitute low fat turkey smoked sausage for the regular smoked sausage, and serve with brown rice.

Steps:
- Sort and wash red beans. In a large soup pot, add 2 qrts cold water and red beans. Let soak overnight. (To speed up the process, you can bring them to a boil, simmer 2 minutes, remove from heat and let stand 1 hour before the next step.) DO NOT DRAIN WATER!
- Add onions, celery, and bell pepper to beans and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to simmer about 1 1/2 hours, or until beans are soft. DO NOT STIR MORE THAN NECESSARY.
- Stir in seasonings and sausage. Simmer 30 minutes more.
- Meanwhile cook a pot of rice, and serve the beans over the hot cooked rice, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onion.
- Note: Don't stir more than necessary - you don't want mushy beans. If you want thicker beans, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking time, or remove 1/2 cups of the beans and mash them before returning to the pot.

AUTHENTIC LOUISIANA RED BEANS AND RICE
Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.
