Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion (1 medium or 1/2 a large) diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 green bell pepper (1 medium or 1/2 a large) diced
- 3 ribs celery diced
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or 3/4 teaspoon dried)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 32 ounces canned light red kidney beans drained (2 cans)
- 29 ounces canned diced tomatoes in juice (2 cans)
- 14 ounces turkey kielbasa sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup rice
- tabasco optional, to finish
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and celery, and sauté until tender, about 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, red beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), sliced kielbasa, and a bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer while you prepare the rice.
- In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice, stir once, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20–22 minutes until the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- To serve, spoon cooked rice into individual bowls, top with the red bean mixture, and add a dash of Tabasco if you like a little heat.
Notes
- For a thicker texture, mash a few of the beans during cooking.
- This dish tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth or water.
- If using brown rice instead of white, increase the cooking time to about 40–45 minutes and adjust the liquid as needed.
