My mother made a few southern dishes that were family favorites. It’s been years since I made my mom’s red beans and rice recipe, but this time I changed things around, making it lower in sodium and by adding a little kick to heat it up a little. With or without heat, these beans are very flavorful. My mother use to always make them using a ham bone with lots of meat left on it. When not available she would use a ham hock, but didn’t like the additional fat, and I agree. To lessen the sodium content, I used very lean, very thin pork chops cut into bite sized pieces. When I tasted it, I could have sworn it was ham without all the salt! If you on a low sodium diet use the chops; if not use a ham bone if you can find one. Enjoy this southern dish, as I have for many decades.
A red beans and rice recipe, southern style, with ham hocks, ham bone or even pork chops. Very tasty!

Substitutions/Variations:
You can use tabasco sauce to spice up this recipe, as well. Mc Ilhenny Co.'s tabasco sauce is gluten free, made with distilled vinegar. If you have different types of eaters you can leave out the hot sauce and let each person add their own at the time of serving.
If you wish to use a ham bone, ask your butcher for one. If they are not available ask them when they will have one. They are there to help.
I leave just a little fat on the ends of the pork chop for flavor, but not a lot. Do whatever fits your diet.
Please note that any hot sauce contains salt and should be used sparingly if on a low sodium diet.
