Red Beans & Rice With Tvp image

This is from Bob's Red Mill. I like to use TVP now and again, it has a good amount of protein and iron in it, and it's such a versatile product. This involves dried beans so plan ahead or sub tinned. This is also a no-fat recipe (zero oil). I halved the original recipe as it made a whole heck of a lot. Adjust the chili powder based on the type you are using. (Prep time doesn't include over night soaking).

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup dried kidney beans (or sub pinto beans)
1 large onion, diced
3 fresh garlic cloves, smashed
1 quart boiling water
1/2 cup brown rice, dry (basmati or short grain)
1 cup textured vegetable protein, TVP
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in plenty of water overnight. Drain and rinse well.
  • Cook the soaked beans in a large pot with the onion, garlic and boiling water.
  • In a separate pot, cook the brown rice according to package directions.
  • After beans have cooked 45 minutes, add TVP, chili powder and cumin. Continue cooking until beans are tender, about 20-30 more minutes.
  • Most of the liquid should have cooked into the beans and TVP. Add salt to taste.
  • Mix the cooked rice with the cooked beans, add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce if desired.
