Red Beans and Rice

Ever had red beans and rice? Well I bet you haven't had them like this! They're vegetarian but have amazing flavor. My mom found a recipe somewhere online and made it her own and now she has taught it to me and I'll share it here :)

Ingredients:

1 can kidney beans

1/2 onion diced

1 Anaheim pepper/ green pepper diced

3 or 4 fresh tomatoes diced or 1 can tomato sauce

4 or 5 stalks celery diced

Jasmine rice 2 cups

Olive oil 2 to 3 tsp

Salt

Pepper 1/4 to 1/2 tsp

Paprika 1 tsp

Cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp

Onion powder 1/4 tsp

Garlic powder a sprinkle

Oregano 1/2 tsp

Thyme 

Recipe: 

Sauté onions,pepper, celery, tomato.add rice, beans and stir. Add spices

And 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce temp, cover and cook till water is absorbed.

Serve with sour cream
--If you want a meat substitute, try a tofurky sausage. Just pan fry it, then add it to the rice once it's cooked.

Enjoy :)
