We love this fragrant, vegetarian dish accompanied by Creole rice and a variety of hot sauces. The beans freeze well.

Add the red beans with their liquid, coconut milk and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little boiling water if the sauce is too thick or cook some more if not creamy enough.
