Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beans

Rinse the large red beans under cold water. Soak them in a large bowl of water overnight or for at least 6 hours.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

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

3

Cook the Beans

Drain the soaked beans and add them to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth, add the bay leaves, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.

4

Prepare the Rice

While the beans are cooking, prepare the rice. In a separate saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the white rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 18-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

5

Combine and Serve

Once the beans are cooked, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the beans over the cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
