Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beans

Rinse the red beans under cold water and soak them in a large bowl with water overnight.

2

Cook the Base

In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

3

Combine Ingredients

Drain the soaked beans and add them to the pot along with the sliced sausage, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, thyme, and water. Bring to a boil.

4

Simmer

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender.

5

Season and Serve

Remove bay leaves, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
