Method
- Finely dice the onion, celery and green pepper. Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
- 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.
- Stir in the smoked paprika and dried thyme for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season the stew with salt and plenty of black pepper.
- 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.
