Vegetarian Red Beans and RiceĪlthough we suggest using beef broth for the best flavor in this recipe, feel free to use vegetable broth to make this dish completely vegetarian! Traditionally this dish is made using meat or bones, however it works wonderfully as a meat free meal including a complete protein of beans and rice together. Just make sure to start with the sauté function in Step 1 and switch to cooking mode for only a few minutes when the broth and other ingredients are added in Step 2.Īn Instant Pot can also come in handy if you choose to make your own beans using the dried variety. This recipe can also be made in an Instant Pot if desired. If you would like to use whole grain Brown Rice, just make sure to adjust the liquid amounts and cooking time according to the package as it won’t cook the same as white rice. The best rice to use: We suggest using a long grain white rice, like Minute® White Rice, which cooks up in just a few minutes making for a simpler and quicker meal with the same delicious taste! You can also use a more aromatic variety such as Jasmine Rice instead. The best beans to use: When it comes to choosing beans, we suggest using canned red kidney beans for best results! However, other cooked beans can be substituted in like pinto beans, black beans or white beans. Next, combined with the beef broth, red kidney beans and seasonings, the white rice soaks up all of that goodness. However, the key to making this simplified version is to start with a base of chopped green bell pepper, celery and onion (the classic “trinity”)that are sautéed to perfection in butter.
