If using dried red kidney beans, soak them overnight in water. Drain and rinse before cooking. If using canned beans, rinse and set aside.

Prepare the Beans

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Cook the Aromatics

Add the soaked (or canned) red kidney beans to the pot, along with thyme, bay leaves, and salt. Stir to combine.

Add the Beans

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the long-grain rice and stir gently.

Add Water and Rice

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.

Simmer

Once cooked, remove the pot from heat, discard the bay leaves, and fluff the rice with a fork. Season with black pepper to taste, and serve hot.
