New Orleans original red beans and rice meat ingredient. I can't eat beans with out it! Sometimes I totally leave out the sausage and put in extra pickle meat! Cook time includes refrigeration time.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup mustard seeds
1 tablespoon celery seed
2 tablespoons hot sauce (i use louisiana hot sauce or tabasco)
1 quart white vinegar
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon kosher salt
12 peppercorns
6 -10 cloves garlic (depending on taste)
2 lbs boneless pork butt
Directions:
1. Combine everything except pork butt in a sauce pan and boil for 5 minutes.
2. Allow to cool.
3. While seasoning is cooling, cut pork butt into 2 inch pieces.
4. Combine pork butt and seasoning mixture in a container with a tight fitting cover.
5. Stir to remove bubbles.
6. Cover and refrigerate for 3 days.
7. Use when making red beans and rice (just throw a cup or two in with the beans while they cook).
