Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The beans need to simmer for a while to become tender and flavorful.

Ingredients

For the red beans:
  • 1 pound dried red beans
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 8 cups water
For the rice:
  • 2 cups long-grain rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Wooden spoon
  • Saucepan with lid

Method

1. Rinse the red beans and pick out any debris or broken beans. 2. In a Dutch oven or large pot, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. 3. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. 4. Add the red beans, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, and water to the pot. Stir to combine. 5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the beans are tender. 6. While the beans are cooking, prepare the rice. In a saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. 7. Once the beans are tender, remove the bay leaf and mash some of the beans with a wooden spoon to thicken the mixture. 8. Serve the red beans over the rice.

Notes

For a smokier flavor, you can add a ham hock or smoked sausage to the pot while the beans are cooking. Just remove it before serving.
