A meal to make when you don't feel like cooking, but have some time. It's terribly easy to put together - just throw everything in a pot, heat on low for a few hours and wa-la, dinner is served. Red Beans and Rice is flavorful, healthy and helps you clean out the fridge of leftover vegetables. I added carrots, but you can also add greens, green beans, peas and even some root vegetables - go ahead and get creative.

Ingredients
- 3 cups vegetarian broth
- 1 1/2 cup dried red kidney beans
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp SnP each
- 2 links meatless sausage (such as Tofurky Kielbasa), sliced
- 2 bay leaves, divided
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Preparation
- Combine all ingredients (using one bay leaf), except rice and green onions, in a pot or crock pot. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, checking the doneness of the beans after each hour.
- In the last hour, put the rice, remaining bay leaf and 3 cups water in a second pot. Heat over medium heat until the water boils, stir once and then cover and simmer over low heat for 40-50 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes, fluff with a fork and ensure all the water is absorbed.
