A flavorful and hearty dish perfect for any occasion, combining tender red beans with aromatic spices and served over fluffy rice.
Rinse the dried red beans under cold water and remove any debris.
Soaking the beans overnight can reduce cooking time and enhance their texture.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding other ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to avoid burning and to evenly cook the vegetables.
Add the minced garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
Adding spices at this stage helps release their flavors into the dish.
Pour in the chicken stock and add the rinsed beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer.
Simmering slowly allows the beans to absorb the flavors of the stock and spices.
Cook the rice according to package instructions.
Fluff the rice with a fork after cooking to separate the grains.
Slice the smoked sausage and grill or pan-fry until browned.
Browning the sausage enhances its smoky flavor and adds a nice texture.
Serve the beans over the cooked rice, topped with sausage slices. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
For a beautiful presentation, use a mold to shape the rice before plating.
