Ingredients:

4 teaspoons of canola oil (avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable oil are acceptable)
1/2 cup of finely chopped white onion
3 cups of cooked Camellia Brand® Pinto Beans, with Camellia Brand Southwest Pinto Bean Infusion
1/2 cup of water
1 teaspoon of lime juice

Directions:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil then add the onions, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, about 3 to 6 minutes.
Pour in the beans and water. Stir, cover, and cook on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, then use a masher or the back of a fork to mash up about half of the beans. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, stirring often, for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until thickened.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and add more lime juice if necessary. If the beans seem dry, add small splash (1⁄2 teaspoon) of water and stir to combine. Cover until you’re ready to serve.

The post Red Bean Gravy (Sauce) first appeared on Camellia Brand.]]>

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 ounces tasso ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (optional)
1/2 cup diced sweet yellow onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
1shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 cup cooked Camellia Brand Creole Red Beans, drained (no sausage)
3/4 cup chicken stock, divided (substitute vegetable stock for vegetarian or vegan version)
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (substitute unsweetened full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free or vegan version)
Parsley, for garnish

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tasso, if using, and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; reserve for garnish, if desired.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and shallot; cook for 1 minute, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the beans, 1/2 cup stock, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a blender. Secure the lid and remove the center piece to allow steam to escape; cover with a clean towel. Add the remaining 1/4 cup stock and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the skillet, stir in the cream, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Finish and serve. Garnish with the reserved tasso, if using, and parsley. Serve immediately.
