Soak the Beans

Rinse the red kidney beans under cold water. Soak them in a large bowl of water for at least 8 hours or overnight.

After soaking, drain the beans and set aside.

Cooking the Dish

3

Sauté Vegetables

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

4

Add Beans and Broth

Add the drained beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

5

Season the Mixture

Add bay leaves, cumin, paprika, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir well.

6

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

7

Finish and Serve

Remove the bay leaves. If desired, stir in chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Serve hot.
