Categories     Main Dish

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup uncooked rice (100 g), we used short grain white rice
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
Dash of salt
Dash of cayenne flakes (optional)
1 bay leaf
2 and 1/4 cups canned red or kidney beans (14 oz or 400 g), drained and rinsed
1 cup vegetable stock or water (250 ml)

Steps:

  • Cook the rice according to package directions. Set aside.
  • Heat some oil, vegetable stock or water in a large pot, add the veggies (garlic, onion and green bell pepper) and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Add the spices and herbs (thyme, paprika, pepper, salt, cayenne and bay leaf).
  • Finally, add the beans and vegetable stock or water, stir and cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. To make the stew thicker, I usually mash some beans using an immersion blender, but feel free to use a fork or a potato masher or just omit this step.
  • Serve the beans with the rice immediately. We added some chopped fresh parsley on top, but it's up to you. Feel free to add some hot sauce as well.
  • Keep leftovers in a sealed container for 4-5 days in the fridge.

INSTANT POT® VEGAN RED BEANS AND RICE



Instant Pot® Vegan Red Beans and Rice image

All of the Instant Pot® recipes I have seen in the past call for cooking the rice separately on the stove while the beans are cooking. I wanted to throw it all in and go and this is what I came up with. This is a meal on its own but when I want to stretch it out, I fry up some plant-based sausage to go with it.

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.

ROBERTO MARTIN'S VEGAN RED BEANS AND RICE



Roberto Martin's Vegan Red Beans and Rice image

This is the recipe Chef Roberto Martin developed for Ellen Degeneres. Ellen being a native of New Orleans has always loved Red Beans and Rice. When she became a vegan it was quite an accomplishment for Roberto to develop this outstanding vegan alternative for the traditional recipe. He suggests using organic beans, broth made from "Better Than Bouillon" Vegetable Base and "Field Roast" Apple, and "Field Roast" Italian Sausage. I have made this recipe several times now and it is always outstanding. You will not miss the meat.....or the fat. Delicious, made healthy? You bet!

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.

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:

  • To make the vegan red beans and rice extra flavorful, use vegetable broth instead of water and add a bay leaf or two to the pot while the beans are cooking.
  • If you don't have any vegan Worcestershire sauce, you can make your own by simmering soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder in a saucepan until it thickens.
  • If you like your red beans and rice spicy, add a diced jalapeño pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pot while the beans are cooking.
  • Serve the vegan red beans and rice with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

This vegan red beans and rice recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up any leftover beans you may have. With its hearty flavor and satisfying texture, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household.
