My associate, Jame, created it for a group I was leading on healthy eating. I asked him to use kidney beans and brown Basmati rice in six different dishes so busy people could make all the rice and beans on the weekend and make up a quick dish with them each night of the week. His creations were fantastic!<\/p>\n<p>This is a delicious vegan Jambalaya, and I decided to resurrect it. Unfortunately when I went hunting for a picture, what I had wasn\u2019t the best resolution \u2014 and I wasn\u2019t 100% sure what stage the recipe was when I recorded it in my files. \u00a0I mean, the ingredients and seasonings are all the correct ones, but I remember bumping up some of the seasonings and am not sure if that made it into the record.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here it is for now, and one day soon I\u2019ll make it in a reduced size \u2014 and check the seasonings. In fact, now that I have an Instant Pot, I might just make it very soon and work out the times for that. If you try it before I do, let me know how it is and if you needed to make any changes.<\/p>\n<p>KIDNEY BEAN JAMBALAYA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kidney beans, 6 cups cooked<\/li>\n<li>Brown Basmati rice, 6 cups cooked (2 c. dry with 1 tsp. salt, 2 TB extra virgin olive oil)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>Green bell peppers, 2 cut in one in. chunks<\/li>\n<li>Red bell peppers, 2 cut in one in. chunks<\/li>\n<li>2 onions cut in one in. chunks<\/li>\n<li>Garlic, 1 TB<\/li>\n<li>Smoked paprika, 1 tsp.<\/li>\n<li>Basil, crushed, 1\/2 tsp.<\/li>\n<li>Rosemary, crushed, 1\/2 tsp.<\/li>\n<li>Thyme, crushed or ground, 1\/2 tsp.<\/li>\n<li>Salt, 2 tsp.<\/li>\n<li>Hot paprika, 1\/4 &#8211; 1 tsp. depending on your taste for heat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saute the peppers and onion with the garlic in the extra virgin olive oil until slightly softened.
