Ingredients
- 250 grams Red kidney beans (dried)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 1200 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the dried red kidney beans thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris.
Step 2
Place the rinsed beans in a large bowl and cover them with water. Soak the beans for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the beans and rinse them again under cold water.
Step 4
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the soaked and drained beans to the pot. Stir in cumin powder, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Pour 1200 milliliters of water into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 7
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the beans simmer for about 90 minutes, or until they are tender and the water has mostly evaporated. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Once the beans are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Discard the bay leaves.
Step 9
Stir in chopped cilantro for added flavor and serve warm.
