Vegan Slow Cooker Red Beans And Rice Recipes

VEGAN SLOW COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until the onion is limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, miso paste, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and sage, if using. Grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine until the miso has dissolved, then remove from the heat and scrape the mixture into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Add the beans, bay leaves, thyme and 6 cups water. Cook on high until the beans are very tender and creamy, about 7 hours.
• If your beans are not bubbling at all by the time they are done cooking, turn the heat up to high and let them bubble for about 10 minutes, to make them easier to digest.
• Before serving, add the soy sauce, and season to taste with salt and cayenne. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, mash some of the beans against the side of the slow cooker to make the mixture slightly creamy. (It will continue to thicken as it sits.) Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.

Steps:

• Rinse, drain and sort red beans.
• Add red beans, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning, bouillon cubes, and 5 cups water to a slow cooker. Mix to combine and gently place bay leaves on top of the liquid so that they are barely submerged. Cook on high for 6½ hours.
• In a large pot on medium heat, add the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced vegan sausage and cook until browned and all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove browned sausage with tongs and set aside, reswerving the oil.
• In the same pot, add the rest of your chopped onion, along with the chopped bell peppers and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions become translucent and the rest of the vegetables begin to soften, about 6-8 minutes. Add green onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer the partially cooked red beans into the pot with 1 cup of reserved water, fishing out the bay leaves if you're able to. Add the cooked sausage and season with an additional teaspoon of Slap Ya Mama. Stir to combine, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, partially cover th pot, turn heat to low, and simmer about an hour to an hour and a half. The liquid from the red beans should be thick, almost like a gravy. When your beans have about 30 minutes of cooking time left, prepare white rice according to package directions.
• Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Serve red beans over cooked whit rice and garnish with additional green onion and fresh parsley.
• ENJOY!

SPICY VEGETARIAN RED BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large bowl. Cover with water and soak overnight. Rinse and drain.
• Set a large heavy saucepan (Dutch oven works well) over medium heat. Add the oil and saute the garlic, carrots, celery, onions and bell peppers, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper (do not add salt at this stage or the beans will get tough while cooking). Add the red beans, kale leaves, chipotles and sauce,Worcestershire, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, oregano and cayenne. Stir well to combine everything, and then add the bay leaves and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the bean mixture thickens, about 1 1/2 hours. Add more water as it cooks if necessary. Season well with salt once the beans are tender.
• When done, remove the bay leaves. Then carefully ladle out about 1 cup of the bean mixture into a food processor and puree (or mash with a fork). Return the puree to the pan, taste and season again with salt and black pepper. Add hot sauce to taste at this stage.
• Serve the red beans on top of steamed white rice and garnish with sliced scallions and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

• Add 6 cups water, the beans, liquid smoke, and bay leaves. Stir to combine and turn heat up to high. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and let simmer until beans begin to fall apart, 2 to 3 hours.
• Bring remaining water and rice to a boil in another saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour most of the cooking liquid from the beans into a bowl and reserve. Remove bay leaves. Mash about 1/3 of the beans, adding as much of the reserved liquid as necessary to reach preferred thickness. Mix with the unmashed beans and season with salt. Serve beans over rice.
