Creole food reflects the combination of French, Spanish and African cuisines. Serve these tasty beans over steamed rice. For an authentic touch, lightly dust each serving with filé powder, a creole seasoning made of ground dried leaves of the sassafras tree. Before starting the recipe, you'll need to soak the beans overnight.
