Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Strip the leafy part of the kale from the stem. Discard the stems.

2
Start Frying

  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper and the Cajun spice and fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
  • Season with salt and pepper. 

3
Prepare the Beans

  • Then add the kidney beans, tomato paste, stock, paprika and 100ml water (per 2P).
  • Cover and simmer for 8-10 mins. Add a splash of water if required to loosen the sauce further.
  • Add a knob of butter and season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar. 

4
Fry the Kale

  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. 
  • Add the kale and garlic and fry for 4-5 mins. Add a splash of water, cover and cook for another 2-3 mins, until the kale has softened.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and keep covered. 

5
Warm the Brown Rice

  • Wipe and return the pan to a medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add the rice and a good splash of water.
  • Cover and allow to warm through completely, 3-5  mins.

TIP: To microwave, open the top of the packet and cook in the microwave until warmed through, 2-3 mins.

6
Divide and Serve

  • Serve your rice, ranch, sriracha, garlic kale and Louisiana-style Beans in separate dishes.
  • Allow everyone to assemble their own plates at the table.
