Deep South Dining

Just like Professor Longhair said in his song "Red Beans", we got the red beans cookin' today on Deep South Dining. The Red Beans & Rice Festival is coming in a few days so Malcolm and Carol are all about this Louisiana dish. Traditionally served on Monday, this dish can be found in many different variations all around the world. From Blue Cross Blue Shield, Chef Labron Alexander joins the show to talk about his take on the dish and how the culture of Blue Cross Blue Shield really informs his cooking.__________________Maybe after the competition Chef Alexander will share his Red Beans and Rice recipe, but here is a great use of kidney beans, rice, and bell peppers.Quick and Easy Stuffed Peppers(Courtesy: of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi)Yields: 4 servingsIngredients2 large red bell peppers, halved and seeded1 (8 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid1/3 cup plain instant brown rice2 tablespoons hot water2 green onions, thinly sliced16 oz. ground turkey1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed and drain
