One-Pot Red Beans & Rice

In New Orleans, this Creole classic was traditionally served on Monday – laundry day – the idea being that a cook could leave her beans and rice simmering for hours on the stove while she went about her washing. Ham hocks cooked along with the beans give the dish a savory, smoky depth.
