Ingredients

  • 1 pound red kidney beans
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Soak the red kidney beans in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse the beans.
  2. Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked sausage back to the pot. Stir in the soaked red kidney beans, bay leaves, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and water.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the mixture is thick and creamy.
  6. Remove the bay leaves and season the red beans and sausage with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the red beans and sausage over a bed of cooked white rice.

Notes

  • To make this dish spicier, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add some hot sauce.
  • You can also use canned red kidney beans instead of dried beans. If using canned beans, skip the soaking step and reduce the cooking time to 30 minutes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
