Red Kidney Beans and Rice

The first thing I did was hydrate some dried kidney beans that I had on hand at home. I made plenty to use in a few recipes.

Prepare the rice of your choice. I usually serve beans to rice in a 2:1 ratio.

Ingredients:

4 cups kidney beans
1 cup vegetable broth
1 zucchini - diced small
1/2 onion diced
6 cloves of garlic smashed and diced
olive oil ... just enough to saute
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp sriracha
1 tsp cayenne

Instructions:

• Saute onion and garlic in olive oil
• When translucent, add zucchini and spices
• Saute for a few minutes to heat the spices
• Add beans and broth and stir to combine 
• When most of the liquid is absorbed the dish is done

Serve with rice of your choice

Variations:

Include fried tofu, vegan sausage, or regular sausage ... make this meal your own based on the level of spice you prefer and the diet you need to follow.
