De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 6 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Add the chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot as the vegetables release their moisture.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for at least 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Ongeveer 45 min

While the beans simmer, prepare the rice. Combine the rice, water, and salt for the rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: You can start this step about 25 minutes after the beans begin to simmer.

Once boiling, immediately cover the rice, reduce heat to the lowest setting, and cook for 18 minutes. Do not lift the lid.

Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 10 minutes to steam.

After the beans have simmered, use the back of a spoon to mash about a cup of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the sauce.
