Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the red kidney beans in cold water. If using dried beans, soak them overnight in plenty of water. If using canned beans, drain and rinse them to remove excess sodium.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Slice Sausage

    Cut the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the sausage to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Add the rinsed red kidney beans, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

  4. 7

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

  5. 8

    Cook Rice

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

  6. 9

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves from the pot. Serve the red beans and sausage mixture over the cooked rice.
