Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dried kidney beans
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 large, diced Carrot
- 2 diced Celery stalk
- 14.5 oz Canned tomatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon, dried Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the dried kidney beans and soak them in cold water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Drain and rinse the soaked beans, then set them aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the canned tomatoes to the pot, along with their juice. Break the tomatoes down with a spoon.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the soaked beans to the pot.
Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 2 hours or until the beans are tender.
Check the beans occasionally and add more broth or water if they appear too dry.
Once the beans are cooked through and tender, remove the bay leaf.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish or as a side with rice or crusty bread.
