EASY ROASTED RED KIDNEY BEANS WITH A KICK (VEGAN)



Easy Roasted Red Kidney Beans With a Kick (Vegan) image

Need to get both simple carbs and a good protein quotient in after a workout? I've been on a roasting frenzy lately with various legumes to have a quick, hot, nutritious dish that doesn't yield much (since I'm cooking for just me.) I use Recipe #389616 but storebought works too. This is great to have with a salad, piece of bread or fruit but would also make a nice side dish for a sit-down dinner. Simple and cheap too!

EASY RED KIDNEY BEANS & BROWN RICE WITH CHILI FLAVORS (VEGAN



Easy Red Kidney Beans & Brown Rice With Chili Flavors (Vegan image

I was browsing through my copycat recipes book and found one for Popeye's Red Beans & Rice which was the base for this recipe. I didn't know what a "16-oz can red chili beans in chili gravy" was so I figured a regular can of kidney beans oughta do it...and healthy brown rice! I had a few green onions so I added them for pleasing color and flavor, made a nice burrito base with queso blanco, spinach, and tofu!

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 55m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup brown rice
2 cups water
1 dash salt
1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash garlic salt (I used a little salt and a little garlic powder)
1/2 cup green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cup lightly salted water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan to a boil, and immerse the brown rice in it. Loosely cover, lower the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the water. Fluff it up and put it into another bowl for now.
  • Put the rinsed and drained beans into a small bowl and mix with the olive oil.
  • In the same pot you cooked the rice in, lightly heat the oiled beans but don't boil them.
  • Add the dry spices and let cook for about 5 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
  • Remove from heat, mix with the warm rice and fresh green onions if you have them, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose dry red kidney beans that are whole and unblemished.
  • Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking.
  • Rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking.
  • Use a large pot to cook the beans, as they will expand as they cook.
  • Add plenty of water to the pot, as the beans will absorb a lot of liquid.
  • Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
  • Add your desired spices and seasonings to the beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve the beans hot or cold, as a side dish or main course.

Roasted red kidney beans are a delicious, versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and iron.
