Y’all ever did red beans with a different protein?

We’ve done it with tofu. It has 10g of protein per half cup.

I bet chicken would be good. I use chicken stock instead of water in mine.

I've used smoked turkey legs, and cut the bones in half to make the broth. It is outstanding. Still included sausage though.

Yep, did something similar for a work potluck. Received very positive feedback and a couple of marriage proposals from the porcine intolerant.

smoked turkey legs, stock made with smoked turkey necks, sings and tails, smoked turkey sausage, & diced smoked turkey breast from the deli. Had them slice it 1/2" thick so I could dice it.

I don't do any protein. Get your seasoning right and you dont need it.

Done chicken andouille before

I ain’t never done did it with chicken but I used to go to Smilie’s in Elmwood and get red beans and pork shanks and those were really good. I’ve had it with lamb shanks too.

Beans are one place I can’t go meatless. The pork fat is what makes them so good.

I’m about to cook up a big ole pot of pintos with lard-y goodness
