A simple meal of red beans and rice, a favorite Cajun recipe, can be ready in just 45 minutes. Serve with tossed green salad and French bread for a satisfying dinner.
I'm kicking myself in the a** for not reading the reviews before making it. The tomato paste amount sounded off to me. I think the recipe should read 6oz can not 16oz can. Ugh!
My family enjoyed this dish!! Make sure you drain the tomatoes well. I used 1/2 tsp of the paste. They asked that I remember this dish.
Tomato paste and stewed tomatoes destroy this dish from baring any resemblance to red beans and rice. I should have known better.
Yes, the tomato paste ruined it INDEED! I would say skip the paste altogether or just add a tsp. It turned my lovely red beans into tomato soup :-(
The tomato paste ruined it- way too much and far too overpowering. It was really good other than that though and I'm looking forward to making it again with just a little bit of paste, if any.
My husband and I ejoyed this recipe ALOT!
