Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the red beans under cold water and soak them overnight in a large bowl with water. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Spices and Beans

    Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Add the drained beans and vegetable broth, then bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the long-grain rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

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