I don’t pretend to be any restaurant that has opened in New Orleans. However, want to share a few tips I’ve discerned over a few years:
-
The holy trinity is critical to Creole cuisine, and red beans in particular. The holy trinity consists of onion, Bell pepper, celery, and garlic is “The Pope”. This is perfectly vegan.
-
to a non-vegan red beans and rice, the only ingredients I would add are bacon (or another source of pork fat) and pork ham in some form. I would substitute with any reasonable vegan source of fat
-
sweet potatoes are still good if you absolutely need to turn this into patties for a complete meal at the end.
