Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soaking the Beans

    Rinse the red kidney beans under cold water and remove any debris. Place them in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Chopping Vegetables

    Chop the onion, bell pepper, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cooking the Beans

    Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to a large pot. Add 4 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender.

  2. 4

    Sautéing Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combining Ingredients

    Add the sautéed vegetables, canned diced tomatoes, bay leaves, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the pot with the beans. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Simmering

    Cover the pot and let the mixture simmer on low heat for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnishing

    Once cooked, remove the bay leaves. Serve the red beans hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and chopped green onions if desired.
