Red Beans and Rice (vegan), Garlic Crescent Rolls

These came out so good Ethan told me at least three times "It's good!" while he ate three bowls of it :-)

RED BEANS AND RICE

1 lb red beans (preferably Camellia brand)
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 handful parsley flakes
Emeril's Essence (a good bit)
Kosher salt (about 1 tbsp)

Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Add water - how much depends on how long you'll be cooking them and how much juice you like. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer at least until tender. They'll only get tastier as they cook longer!

Serve over brown rice. Mix in Tabasco sauce to taste.



GARLIC CRESCENT ROLLS

1 pack crescent rolls
Butter, melted
Olive oil
Garlic powder

Unroll crescent rolls. Mix together an equal amount of butter and olive oil. Brush over dough. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Separate into triangles. Roll up and cook according to package directions.
