Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the red kidney beans under cold water, then place them in a large bowl. Cover the beans with 6 cups of water and let them soak overnight (or for at least 6 hours). After soaking, drain and rinse the beans again.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the pot and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  3. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the soaked and drained red kidney beans to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 5

    Add Water and Simmer

    Pour in 6 cups of fresh water, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.

  5. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Once the beans are tender, remove the bay leaves and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
