Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the red kidney beans overnight in water. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

    Cook the Beans

    Add the drained beans, vegetable broth, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Rice

    While the beans are cooking, prepare the white rice according to package instructions.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the beans are tender, remove the bay leaves. Serve the red beans over the cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
