Red Beans and Rice is a slow cooked classic made with leftover ham bone, the holy trinity and signature spices served over white rice. This dish was traditionally made on a Monday, which was laundry day, and back when we washed clothes by hand on a wash rack it took most of the day, which left little time for cooking. A leftover ham bone, some dried beans soaked overnight and the faithful trinity of onions, green bell pepper and celery quickly became the go-to meal for feeding the family.
