Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beans

Soak the red kidney beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

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

3

Cook the Beans

Add the soaked beans, vegetable broth, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.

4

Cook the Rice

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

5

Combine and Serve

Once the beans are cooked, remove the bay leaves. Serve the beans over a bed of rice, garnished with chopped parsley.
