Ingredients
- Quartered medium onion
- Three garlic cloves
- Green bell pepper, quartered
- Stalks of celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
- Two tablespoons of water
- Three cans of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounces each)
- One can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes (15 ounces)
- Two teaspoons of hot sauce
- One teaspoon of dried thyme
- One teaspoon of dried oregano
- One teaspoon of smoked paprika
- One teaspoon of kosher salt (Optional)
- Half teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- Half teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Step 1
Begin by heating up a spacious nonstick pot on medium-high heat, allowing the anticipation of flavors to build.
Step 2
For a burst of flavor, start by tossing onions and garlic into a food processor and give them a few pulses to achieve a fine mince. Transfer this aromatic mixture to the sizzling pan, then proceed to finely chop a bell pepper in the same processor before adding it to the pan. Repeat this process with the celery to infuse even more depth into the dish.
Step 3
Once all the vegetables are in the pot, mix them thoroughly and sprinkle in a couple of tablespoons of water. Let them simmer until they reach a tender, melt-in-your-mouth consistency, which should take roughly 6 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Next, take half of the beans and tomatoes and let them dance in the food processor until they form a coarse blend, stopping just short of being completely pureed.
Step 5
Combine this bean and tomato medley with the remaining whole beans, tomatoes, a dash of hot sauce, fragrant thyme, aromatic oregano, smoky paprika, a pinch of salt, a sprinkle of black pepper, and a hint of cayenne for a touch of heat. Cover the pot snugly, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, and let the ingredients mingle and harmonize for a minimum of 30 minutes. Remember to give the mixture a gentle stir every 5 to 10 minutes to ensure all the flavors meld together perfectly.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Embrace the power of organization by using clear, airtight containers to store your red beans and rice ingredients. This not only keeps everything neat and tidy but also helps you easily see what you have on hand.
- 2. Utilize different sized containers to store ingredients like rice, beans, and spices separately. This way, you can easily customize your red beans and rice recipe by adding or adjusting ingredients as needed.
