Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the red beans under cold water and soak them in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Cook the Beans

    Add the soaked red beans, vegetable broth, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, cook the long-grain white rice according to package instructions.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Once the beans are tender and the rice is cooked, remove the bay leaves from the bean mixture. Serve the red beans over the rice and garnish with chopped parsley.
