Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the red kidney beans under cold water. If using dry beans, soak them overnight in water, then drain.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the prepared red beans, vegetable broth, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Mixture

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Cook the Rice

    While the beans are simmering, cook the long-grain white rice according to the package instructions.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves from the bean mixture. Serve the red beans over the cooked rice.
