Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the beans

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

2

Cook the vegetables

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

3

Add garlic and spices

Add the minced garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.

4

Add the beans and broth

Add the soaked red beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.

5

Cook the rice

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

6

Serve

Once the beans are cooked, serve them over the rice, garnished with chopped parsley.
