Enjoy Blue Runner Red Beans over Zatarain's Extra Long Parboiled Rice for your next dinner. To be a true New Orleanian eat your Blue Runner beans on Monday like the locals do. Monday was known as "wash day" in New Orleans so a pot of red beans would be put on the stove in the morning to simmer all day while all the other chores were done around the house. Serve with corn bread and TABASCO Pepper Sauce.
