Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the dry red beans under cold water and soak them in water overnight. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Sausage and Beans

    Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes. Then, add the soaked red beans, water, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Dish

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves. Serve the red beans over cooked white rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
