Gumbo-style bean stew

Method

  1. Finely dice the onion, celery and green pepper. Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the onion, celery, green pepper and a pinch of salt and cook for about 10 minutes until soft.
  3. Stir in the smoked paprika and dried thyme for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and 300 ml of water. Simmer for 30 minutes with the lid off, stirring now and then, until thick and dark.
  5. While the stew bubbles, rinse the rice in a sieve and put it in a small lidded pan with 300 ml of cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, cover and cook on the lowest heat for 12 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave it covered.
  6. Season the stew with salt and plenty of black pepper.
  7. Fluff the rice with a fork, spoon it into bowls and ladle the stew over the top.

Tip Put a bottle of hot sauce on the table so each person can set their own heat.
