On a trip to Louisiana, I picked up a pack of Camellia Brand Pink Beans. I had never cooked with them before, and was excited to use them in a dish.

So, here I'm thrilled to share a Hearty and Delicious Pink Beans recipe, which I know you and your family will love!

This fantastic recipe:

  • Makes for a great side dish! It's especially wonderful when served with barbecued meats, but perfect served with any of your favorite main dishes.
  • Is economical! Using dry beans is very cost effective and you can treat your entire family to a huge pot of beans for just a few dollars!
  • Will make your taste buds sing! One taste of this dish, and you'll fall in love!

So first allow me to tell you a little bit about pink beans!

What Are Pink Beans?

From CamelliaBrand.com: "Pink beans, or habichuelas rosadas, are similar in size to pinto and Great Northern beans and have a rich, meaty flavor." They are popular in the Southwestern United States, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico.

The bean's color is a pale pink/light red/light brown, hence the name pink beans. They are small and oval in shape.

Pink beans are commonly used in chili, and to make refried beans. A great substitute for pink beans is pinto beans because of their similarity.

These beans are great to add to your collection of beans in your pantry!

Ingredients You Will Need For This Dish

Pink beans in a white bowl, celery stalk, red, orange and yellow sweet peppers, garlic cloves, onion, fresh thyme, package of sliced salt pork, chicken broth, chili powder and Colman's mustard.

The ingredients you will need for this dish are:

  • ½ lb dried Pink beans (use Camellia brand if you can!) - rinsed and sorted no need to soak! - can sub dry pinto beans
  • 4.5 cups unsalted chicken broth or cold water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • 1 cup bell pepper (any colors) diced
  • ½ ts black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • ¼ lb salt pork diced (can sub ham hock)
  • few sprigs of fresh thyme (can sub dried thyme but fresh is best!)
  • additional salt and pepper to taste
Diced onion in a white bowl, sliced celery and diced sweet bell peppers on a white plate.
Here's how to prep your veggies

Please note I am using dried beans for this recipe. However, pink beans are available in cans. If you will use canned beans, I would recommend 2 cans of pink or pinto beans for this recipe (drained and rinsed).

Easy Instructions For This Great Recipe!

It's SUPER EASY to make this hearty side dish!

Begin by heating up 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large pot.  Add minced onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.  Then add the bell pepper and celery and saute for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Diced onion, garlic, sweet bell peppers and celery in a large pot.

Now add the unsalted broth (or water), beans, and salt pork.  Bring to the boil for around 10 minutes.  Lower the heat to a simmer and add ½ ts pepper, the dry mustard and chili powder. 

Pink beans, diced and minced vegetables including onions and sweet bell peppers, and diced salt pork in broth in a large pot with a blue utensil.

Stir through, cover, and simmer for around 1 hr - 1.5 hrs or until the beans are cooked and tender. Check on this every 20 minutes or so, and add a little water as necessary if you feel it's becoming too dry.

Be sure to savor the amazing aromas coming from your kitchen during this time!

Finally, add salt and pepper to taste and the thyme leaves from the sprigs. Please note that it may not be necessary to add any salt, as the salt pork is quite salty.

And that's it! Your DELICIOUS pink beans are ready to enjoy!

Suggestions For Serving

Enjoy these delicious pink beans as part of a hearty meal! They are SUPERB served with barbecued meats or even just paired with rice!

If so inclined, add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce or a bit of cayenne pepper for some delicious heat!

In my opinion these taste even better the next day. So if you have any leftovers you can look forward to another delicious helping of beans!

I hope this may become a favorite recipe of yours for beans!

Frequently Asked Questions

What beans can I sub for pink beans?

Pinto beans are recommended if you can't find or prefer another type of bean for this recipe.

Where can I get pink beans?

Major grocery stores should carry pink beans either in the beans and legumes section or in the Latin food section of their store. You can also purchase them on Amazon, but they are a bit pricey there!

What do pink beans taste like?

Pink beans have a meaty taste and are a little bit sweet. They are delicious!

Notes

Please note that it may not be necessary to add any salt, as the salt pork is quite salty.  If you are watching your salt, you can cut back on the amount of salt pork called for, or eliminate this ingredient.
Feel free to sub pinto beans if you can't obtain pink beans.  But I hope you can find pink beans!
Well known brands that sell pink beans are Camellia Brand, and Goya.

How I Discovered This Dish!

I discovered this dish while on a trip to Oxford, Mississippi. A great place to try some Mississippi regional fare when in Oxford is at the Ajax Diner. We stopped by for some take out and pictured below was our delicious lunch!

Hot tamale pie, butter beans and corn bread in a styrofoam container, cutlery and napkins, various condiments, cucumber and onions in a styrofoam container and a cup of coffee.

I ordered the Hot Tamale Pie, which was recommended in the Mississippi Tour Guide. The sides that I chose to go along with my Hot Tamale Pie (so good!) were corn bread, butter beans, and cucumber and onions. I loved the cucumber and onions so much that I couldn't wait to get back home to recreate it in my kitchen!

Ingredients Needed For This Classic Side Dish

You only need 6 ingredients for this simple salad! These are common ingredients which you can find at your local grocery store!

Salt, vinegar, sugar, red onion, and cucumber.
  • Fresh Cucumbers - English cucumbers with their thin skin and fewer seeds are perfect for this dish! But feel free to use regular cucumbers it's all good!
  • Red onion (could also sub Vidalia onion, sweet onion, or white onion according to your personal preference)
  • White Vinegar (could sub apple cider vinegar)
  • A little salt
  • A liittle sugar
  • Water

Once you've gathered these ingredients, you are on your way to making what may become one of your favorite healthy recipes!

Instructions

Here are the super simple instructions to make this easy cucumber salad recipe!

First, use your vegetable peeler to peel the cucumber in stripes (lengthwise) for aesthetic purposes. This is not necessary, but it does definitely make this dish much more appealing! Then, cut the cucumber into thin cucumber slices.

Next, cut the red onion into thin slices.

Sliced cucumber and red onion on a white plate, glass bowls filled with water and vinegar, small white dishes with sugar and salt.

Place the sliced cucumber and onion in a large bowl.  In a separate bowl mix together the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar.  Pour this mixture over the cucumber and onion, and mix well. 

That's it! You have made this cool cucumber salad, which you may may consider one of your go to salad recipes from now on!

For Best Results

You can eat this immediately, however for the best flavor, allow the flavors to meld overnight in the fridge. This onion and cucumber vinegar salad definitely tastes better the next day!

Place the salad in an airtight container that is preferably shallow. That way more of the the cucumber and onion slices are in contact with the tangy dressing. If you get a chance, stir the marinated cucumbers and onions a few times while the dish is marinating.

You can also use a jar, which makes it easy to turn it over from time to time while marinating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of cucumber should I use for this Southern Cucumber salad?

English cucumbers with their thinner skin and fewer seeds are recommended. But feel free to use regular cucumbers if you can't get the English cucumber.

What kind of onion should I use?

It's fine to use red onion, sweet onion, white onion, or Vidalia onion for this salad! I enjoy using red to give the salad an extra pop of color though!

Some ingredients you might consider adding include black pepper, and/or fresh herbs such as fresh dill weed or parsley. You could even throw in a few halved cherry tomatoes to make this a Southern tomato cucumber salad!

A Mouthwatering Recipe For One Of The Best Burgers Ever!

It's my humble opinion that one of the BEST burgers ever is a simple Green Chile burger. Here, I am excited to share with you a super easy, no frills recipe for a mouthwatering burger which also includes lots of cheese! This recipe is:

  • Absolutely delicious! A juicy burger topped with melty cheese is a winner every time!

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

A Goose Is A Wonderful Thing!

A goose is a wonderful thing! And roasting a goose and preparing it for my family for the first time has been a fantastic experience! It was the centerpiece of our recent Christmas dinner. We loved not only the taste of the roasted goose, but also using every part of the bird out of total respect for her.

Use The Goose Neck and Giblets To Make A Fantastic Giblet Gravy!

The neck and giblets that come with goose are to be treasured. They can be used to make a most fantastic gravy. Giblets refer to the innards of the goose such as the heart, liver, kidneys, etc.

Goose neck and giblets on a brown board

The Giblet Gravy recipe that you will find here is easy and absolutely delicious. It will perfectly complement your roasted goose!

What Do I Need To Make This Giblet Gravy?

You will need the following ingredients to make Goose Giblet Gravy:

  • Neck and giblets that come with your goose
  • A bit of extra fat from the goose (if you have this available)
  • Butter
  • Onion
  • Celery
  • Garlic
  • Turkey or chicken broth
  • Red wine
  • Corn starch (only if you feel the gravy needs to be thickened)
  • Salt and pepper

I promise you it's worth the time to make this Giblet Gravy you will absolutely love it!

The Method To Make This Delicious Gravy

Making this gravy will takes around 1.5 hours and it's very easy to make.

Begin by chopping up the giblets and chop the onion, garlic, and celery. Melt some butter (and some goose fat if available) in a skillet and then add the neck and chopped gizzards. Brown the neck and gizzards in the butter.

Turkey is now the favored roast for holiday celebrations. However, please don't dismiss roasted goose for the holidays or days that aren't holidays! This showstopper is much easier to make than you might think!

Please read on to find out how to make an easy and delicious roasted goose, which will be an absolutely rewarding experience!

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

Why Try Roasted Goose?

  • The flavor is so rich! It has a stronger taste than chicken or turkey, kind of gamey and more like beef
  • The skin will turn golden and crispy which is both beautiful and tasty!
  • You will be rewarded with "liguid gold". The goose is a very fatty bird so you will get lots of goose fat which you can use to make the most AMAZING roast potatoes!
  • The giblets can be used to make an INCREDIBLE giblet gravy!
  • The carcass can be used to make a very delicious stock

Roasted Goose With Sage and Onion Stuffing is also one of the 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die!

1,000 Foods To Eat Project

I am working my way through the foods that are listed in the book 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die by Mimi Sheraton. This is called my 1,000 Foods to Eat Project. Roast Goose With Sage and Onion Stuffing is food #56 in my Project! Roasting goose and preparing it for my family for the first time has been a fantastic experience! It was the centerpiece of our recent Christmas dinner. We loved not only the taste of the roasted goose, but also using every part of the bird out of total respect for her.

1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die

In this book, the author Mimi Sheraton lists her choice for the 1,000 Foods of the World that you MUST try. So let's get ready to make a Roasted Goose! 😃

What Ingredients and Equipment Will I Need To Roast a Goose?

Here's what you will need to make a roasted goose:

  • Oven for roasting
  • Large roasting tray - the goose can be a rather large bird (mine was 10 pounds)
  • Something to prick the skin of the goose with - I used the sharp end of my meat thermometer; you could also use a clean needle; the skin is pricked so that the fat can run through (you will get a LOT of goose fat!)
  • Goose for roasting
  • Baster - baste the goose every so often with the liquid gold (goose fat)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Ingredients to stuff the goose (optional) - I stuffed mine with a lemon, onion, garlic, sage, and thyme

The goose I used was from Whetstone Valley. Here are pictures of the front and back of the packaged goose, which was frozen when I bought it.

  • Goose from Whetstone Valley
  • Back of Whetstone Valley Goose With Cooking Directions

As you can see, it's a rather expensive bird! However, please be assured that you will get so much out of it!

Here's How To Make A Roasted Goose

I tweaked the directions on the back of the Whetstone Valley Goose package. If you follow these directions, you should get a roasted goose with a golden and crispy skin, with gloriously rich and tender meat.

  1. Thaw your goose if you buy it frozen. My 10 pound goose actually took over 2 days to thaw. Once thawed, remove the packaging. Remove the neck and giblets from inside the cavity, and also trim the excess fat from the neck and cavity. Set the neck and giblets aside for possible later use to make a divine gravy. Then rinse and dry the bird with paper towels. Now add a generous amount of salt to both the skin and inside the cavity. Allow the goose to sit uncovered in your fridge for at least 6 hrs or overnight.

  • goose whose skin has been salted

2. Remove the goose from your fridge around 1 hr - 1.5 hrs prior to roasting to allow the goose to come to room temperature.

3. Prepare your stuffing (if using). I halved my lemon and onion.

4. Preheat your oven to 325F. When the goose is at room temperature, be sure to prick the skin all over with the sharp end of your meat thermometer, or you can use a clean needle. Try not to pierce the skin. Season it with salt and pepper.

5. Stuff the goose with your stuffing of choice.

6. Roast the goose (breast side up and set on a rack on a roasting tray) for approximately 2 hrs. During this time, baste it every 30 minutes or so. After the first 30-45 minutes I also turn it over and roast it underside up for around 30 minutes to get that side browned as well. I need to do this in my oven (it's older and quirky!) but if you are able to get the underside browned without turning over then all good! Please roast according to your oven's quirks (if any). 😊

Here you can see the skin getting nice and golden brown, and if you look underneath you can see pools of liquid gold (goose fat)! Be sure to save this goose fat for roasting potatoes and other vegetables!

7. Now turn the oven down to 275F and then continue roasting until a meat thermometer registers 165F in the center of the breast area. The time will vary according your oven but it should be around 20-30 minutes.

Allow the goose to cool for 15-20 minutes, and then carve and enjoy!

What To Serve With Roasted Goose

The absolute perfect accompaniment to Roasted Goose is a divine giblet gravy and Sage and Onion Stuffing.

This is a dish that is PERFECT for the holidays, or any day that you want to celebrate!

The Goose In Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol"

To conclude, I would like to share with you a scene from Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol." It's such a delight to see the Cratchit family enjoying their goose for Christmas dinner. From "A Christmas Carol": "There never was such a goose...Its tenderness and flavor, size and cheapness were the themes of universal admiration." 

I hope that we may all enjoy a Roasted Goose dinner with such joy and gusto as the Cratchits. 😊

Notes

Be sure to save the goose fat for roasting potatoes and vegetables!  Goose fat is the GOLD STANDARD for roasting potatoes!
Be generous when you salt the skin and cavity before allowing it to sit in your fridge overnight.  The salt will help to crisp up the skin.
Save the neck and giblets to make a divine giblet gravy!
You can use the carcass to make a wonderful goose broth!
Lowering the temp from 325F to 275F helps to keep the meat from drying out too much.

The One The Only Toasted Ravioli!

December 10, 2021 by Grace Leave a Comment

This page may contain affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no cost to you when you make a purchase using my link. This post will show you how to make Toasted Ravioli!

You NEED These Crispy Scrumptious Morsels In Your Life!

I will be so bold as to say you NEED Toasted Ravioli in your life! Here you will find a recipe for these that is super easy and super delicious!

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

What Is Toasted Ravioli?

Toasted Ravioli is PURE GENIUS! Funny then that it supposedly came about by accident. A ravioli was apparently accidentally dropped into a fryer or oil. The result was a crispy, delicious, and scrumptious ravioli! It's also a perfect finger food!

Actually, the filled pasta is fried and not toasted. This Wikipedia article mentions that one of the persons who claimed to invent this food said that he thought "toasted" was a more appealing word than "fried." 😊

Where Did This Dish Come From?

These delicious morsels come from St. Louis, Missouri. They most likely originated in an Italian-American neighborhood in St. Louis called "The Hill." There are several Italian restaurants in the area including Mama Campisi's and Charlie Gitto's. These are a couple that lay claim to have created this dish.

Usually, these raviolis are filled with either a meat or cheese stuffing. They are breaded and fried, and then served with marinara sauce. Parmesan cheese is often sprinkled on top.

My Introduction To Toasted Ravioli

I first tasted this amazing food at Imo's Pizza. Imo's is a pizza chain whose headquarters is in St. Louis, Missouri.

Imo's Pizza

Their ravioli is filled with beef and lightly breaded. They are then "deep fried to crispy golden-brown perfection" (from imospizza.com).

  • Toasted Ravioli pieces with marinara sauce
  • Toasted Ravioli showing the meat filling

After my first bite I was in HEAVEN! I still vividly remember dunking the raviolis in the marinara sauce and then savoring each bite!

So, I absolutely had to try my hand at these when I returned home from St. Louis.

What Ingredients Are Needed To Make Toasted Ravioli?

Only a handful of ingredients are needed to make this perfect appetizer!

You will need:

  • Ravioli (I used cheese but you can use any kind you like!)
  • Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • Flour
  • Eggs
  • Vegetable oil
  • Marinara sauce (to serve with)
  • Parmesan (to top with)

You can use fresh or frozen ravioli. If you are using frozen ravioli, just thaw it overnight in the fridge before using.

  • Bag of cheese ravioli, eggs in a bowl, flour in a white bowl, Italian breadcrumbs in a white bowl
  • Ravioli on a white plate, whisked eggs in a bowl, Italian breadcrumbs in a white bowl, flour in a white bowl, marinara sauce and parmesan cheese in small glass bowls

This dish only requires a short list of ingredients and a little of your time. So, let's make some Toasted Ravioli!

How To Make This Perfect Finger Food!

It's SUPER EASY to make this wonderful appetizer! First, we will do a little dredging!

Start by dredging the ravioli in flour, shaking off the excess. Follow by dredging in whisked egg (also shaking off the excess), and then Italian breadcrumbs. These are now ready to fry!

Heat up some vegetable oil in a deep skillet (I used my cast iron skillet) to around 360F. Once the oil is hot, start frying the ravioli in batches being sure not to crowd.

You are aiming for the ravioli to turn a lovely golden brown color. Use your best judgement when to flip the pieces (when you see the edges start to turn brown). It took me around 30-45 seconds before I flipped them over. If you need to flip them over several times to get the color you want it's perfectly fine.  😃

What To Serve With Toasted Ravioli!

The PERFECT way to serve this perfect appetizer is sprinkled with some grated Parmesan with marinara sauce to accompany.

This is SO SO GOOD! My husband Steve could NOT stop eating this and my dog Toby wouldn't leave me alone until I gave him a few extra pieces!

I do hope you will treat yourself to some easy to make and absolutely scrumptious Toasted Ravioli soon!

Can Dogs Eat Toasted Ravioli?

Although I wouldn't recommend feeding your dog toasted ravioli on a regular basis, as an occasional treat it should be ok! Here is our dog Toby enjoying a bit of Toasted Ravioli and St. Louis Style Pizza during our trip to Imo's Pizza!

Some History Behind The McDonald's Filet-O-Fish Sandwich

McDonald's is world famous for its burgers, but believe me it has it's Filet-O-Fish fans, of which I am one. Who doesn't desire a deliciously spiced and delicate piece of fish, served with cheese and tartar sauce, and nestled between soft buns??

The Filet-O-Fish was introduced in the 1960's and has a Catholic history! It was invented by Lou Groen, a McDonald's franchise owner in Ohio. He created this sandwich as a way to gain some business from the mostly Catholic population in his area. They tended to not eat meat during Lent, so a fish sandwich was a great alternative for them. Here is a fantastic article from Smithsonian about the history of the Filet-O-Fish! The article states that McDonald's sells around 300 million Filet-O-Fish each year, and that about 23% of them are sold during Lent!

What is Sous Vide?

Sous vide means "under vacuum" in French. It is also known as LTLT cooking (low temperature long time). In a nutshell, sous vide is a method of cooking whereby food is placed in a sealed bag (or jar) and cooked at a very precise temperature in a water bath. Typically the temperature will be much lower for cooking than normal.

With traditional cooking, sometimes food will be overcooked on the outside, with some of the inside being undercooked. The food may also end up being dry. The sous vide method aims to cook food evenly and retain moisture.
