Red Beans and Quinoa

Ingredients

• 1 bag of Red Beans
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp cajon seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups of dry quinoa, cooked according to package (will make about 5 cups)

Instructions

1. Rinse the beans throughly
2. Place in a large pot add enough water to cover beans by 2 inches. You will not drain the extra water so it is better to start with less and add more as needed while cooking.
3. Bring to rolling boil and let them cook for 1 hour.
4. Then add the onion, garlic, and bay leaves.
5. Reduce to a simmer and cover.
6. If the beans seem too watery remove while cooking.
7. Cook about 2 hours, until beans are soft.
8. Serve the beans with quinoa.
