1 yellow onion
4 stalks celery
1/2 green pepper
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes

Homemade, no cans in sight..lol. Zatarains is too salty for my preferences and this is cheaper also. Omit Worcestershire sauce for vegan.

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb red beans, small
1 qt water
1 qt vegetable broth
4 clove garlic, minced
2 small onions, chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp thyme
1 1/2 tsp oregano
1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp ground mustard
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 c rice, uncooked

Steps:

  • 1. Sort and wash red beans.
  • 2. In a large stockpot, combine 1 quart water, 1 quart broth, and red beans. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes before removing from heat. Let the beans stand for 1 hour.
  • 3. After an hour, add garlic, onions, and bell pepper and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until beans are soft. Try not to stir more than necessary.
  • 4. Stir in seasonings and rice and simmer for 30 minutes longer, or until rice and beans are both cooked and all flavors are incorporated. The consistency should be like a thick gravy-you don't want soup. If it's too wet, just cook it down for a few more minutes. If it's too dry, add more water and cook until it has thickened.
  • 5. You can also serve the rice on the side by cooking it separately from the beans.

VEGAN RED BEANS AND RICE



Vegan Red Beans and Rice image

This is a healthier, vegetarian/vegan/Lent-friendly version of one of my favorite Creole dishes. This dish is typically made with ham hocks, so this version has less fat and salt by default. In Louisiana, it is traditionally served on Monday. Make it part of your weekly rotation! Allow each person at the table to add Cajun seasoning and Louisiana hot sauce to taste.

Time 10h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (16 ounce) package dry red kidney beans
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
6 large cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups water, divided
4 dashes liquid smoke flavoring
2 bay leaves
1 cup uncooked white rice
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place red beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
  • Add celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic to a blender and process until just shy of a puree.
  • Add vegetable oil to a saucepan or stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir vegetable mixture for 5 minutes. Add thyme, oregano, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, for 2 minutes more.
  • Add 6 cups water, the beans, liquid smoke, and bay leaves. Stir to combine and turn heat up to high. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and let simmer until beans begin to fall apart, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Bring remaining water and rice to a boil in another saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Pour most of the cooking liquid from the beans into a bowl and reserve. Remove bay leaves. Mash about 1/3 of the beans, adding as much of the reserved liquid as necessary to reach preferred thickness. Mix with the unmashed beans and season with salt. Serve beans over rice.

VEGAN PRESSURE COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE



Vegan Pressure Cooker Red Beans and Rice image

Here's a vegan version of the classic New Orleans dish that uses smoked paprika, miso paste and soy sauce to add a savory notes. Pressure cookers are ideal for preparing dried beans; even unsoaked beans cook quickly and evenly, so that the beans become creamy but still keep their shape (though we've got instructions for a slow cooker approach, too). Here, you want the beans to be very tender, so that the stew is thick - with a few beans that have slightly broken down - and not soupy. This vegan version of "Monday red beans" is not as creamy as the one made with pork, so smashing a few beans against the side of the pot at the end of cooking is particularly important. Louisiana-style hot sauce is key as well.

Categories     beans, sausages, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
10 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 heaping tablespoon white or yellow miso paste
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground sage (optional)
1 pound dried red kidney beans (no need to soak)
3 dried bay leaves
3 fresh thyme sprigs or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Cooked rice, for serving
Sliced scallions, for serving
Louisiana-style hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Turn on the sauté setting of a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, miso paste, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and sage (if using). Grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then turn off the sauté setting.
  • Add the beans, bay leaves, thyme and 5 1/2 cups water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Cook on high pressure until the beans are creamy, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually and open the lid. Add the soy sauce, and season to taste with salt and cayenne. Using a fork, mash some of the beans against the side of the pressure cooker to make the mixture creamy. It will continue to thicken as it sits, or you can turn on the sauté setting and let the mixture bubble for a few minutes to thicken. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.

VEGAN SLOW COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE



Vegan Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice image

This vegan version of New Orleans-style red beans and rice omits the sausage and ham hock, and instead adds smoked paprika, miso and soy sauce for a savory, rounded flavor. If you have a favorite Cajun or Creole spice mixture on hand, use 1 heaping tablespoon of it in place of the sage, cayenne, garlic, onion powders and sweet paprika, and taste before adding any salt, as seasoning blends contain a varying amount of sodium. These vegan beans are not as creamy as the ones made with pork, so smash a few against the side of the pot before serving to thicken the liquid. Serve with hot sauce, preferably a vinegary, cayenne-based Louisiana-style sauce like Crystal, Louisiana brand or Tabasco.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Time 7h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
10 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 heaping tablespoon white or yellow miso paste
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground sage (optional)
1 pound dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight
3 dried bay leaves
3 fresh thyme sprigs or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Cooked rice, for serving
Sliced scallions, for serving
Louisiana-style hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until the onion is limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, miso paste, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and sage, if using. Grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine until the miso has dissolved, then remove from the heat and scrape the mixture into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Add the beans, bay leaves, thyme and 6 cups water. Cook on high until the beans are very tender and creamy, about 7 hours.
  • If your beans are not bubbling at all by the time they are done cooking, turn the heat up to high and let them bubble for about 10 minutes, to make them easier to digest.
  • Before serving, add the soy sauce, and season to taste with salt and cayenne. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, mash some of the beans against the side of the slow cooker to make the mixture slightly creamy. (It will continue to thicken as it sits.) Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans: Don't limit yourself to just red beans. Try using black beans, kidney beans, or a mix of different beans for a more flavorful dish.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: The vegetables in this dish add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as celery, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper you add to this dish is up to you. Taste the dish as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This dish is delicious served with rice, cornbread, or a salad. You can also top it with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
