A delightful twist on the classic Puerto Rican red beans and rice, this recipe is both flavorful and easy to prepare.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when ingredients are added.
Add the smoked sausage, onion, and green bell pepper to the saucepan.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the garlic and ground cumin, cooking until fragrant.
Adding spices at this stage enhances their aroma and flavor.
Mix in the red kidney beans, tomato sauce, and hot sauce.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice preference.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Ensure all ingredients are well combined before boiling.
Stir in the white rice and reduce the heat to low.
Cover the saucepan to trap steam and cook the rice evenly.
Cover and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom.
Serve the beans and rice warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley adds a fresh touch.
