  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Equipment

Method

  1. Sort through the Blue Runner Red Beans to remove any debris or rocks. Rinse the beans under cold water and set aside.

  3. Add the thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the pot and stir to combine.

  5. While the beans are cooking, prepare the rice. In a separate pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
