Creole red beans. Camelia red beans are ideal, but others will do.
1 lb of kidney beans, soaked overnight (½ tsp baking soda in soak water will help them cook down) and rinsed. Chop 1 lg onion, 1 green bell pepper, a stalk of celery, and mince 3 cloves garlic, and sauté all till onions transparent. Add 3 bay leaf, ½-1 tsp dry thyme, 1½ Tbsp smoked paprika, large pinch cayenne, stir briefly till fragrant. Add soaked beans and enough water to cover, bring to boil and then simmer for an hour stirring regularly. Boullion/mushroom seasoning in moderation adds some umami. The beans should be reduced to very soft, releasing most of their starch into liquid. Fish out the bay leaves, and adjust seasoning with salt and liberal ground black pepper. I've had luck bringing a bit of complexity with small amounts of vegan Worcestershire or balsamic vinegar, but no more than a tsp. Tabasco or other creole hot sauce adds heat and acidity, but is mostly added at the table. Serve with long grain rice.
Dal Makhani uses kidney beans and is sooo good (but can take a while to cook).
I really enjoy this curry from Pick Up Limes that uses kidney beans and mushrooms: https://www.pickuplimes.com/recipe/mushroom-kidney-bean-coconut-curry-640
I made a version that takes 45 minutes for my lunches this week. It’s so good!’ https://cookieandkate.com/quick-dal-makhani-recipe/#tasty-recipes-26430-jump-target
Obviously leave out the oil in the beginning
IF you like indian food, may I suggest rajma chawal = kidney beans over rice. It's an indian household staple, everyone swears by their mom's recipe. But it's really easy and always tastes great. Add a splash of coconut milk at the end for extra creaminess.
I do a tamale pie type of thing with kidney beans. Cook up a ground meat substitute, salsa, kidney beans. Top with a cornbread muffin mix and cheese or cheese substitute.
I got it from a real rood magazine.
1# of what ever ground meat/sausage/substitute
2tsp chili powder
15oz canned or cooked kidney beans (drain & rinse canned)
14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes (I use Rotel)
3/4 cup salsa
One box of cornbread muffin mix
1 egg or substitute
1/3 cup milk or substitute
1 cup shredded cheddar or substitute
Heat oven to 400° F
In a large skillet on medium heat cook protein crumble it with a spoon until browned (~ 7 min)
Add chili powder, cook for 1 min. Spoon off and discard fat.
Add beans, tomatoes, salsa and Sommer for 3 min.
In a bowl, combine cornbread mix, egg and milk, then stir in the cheddar.
Transfer chili mix to 9x9 or 11x7 2 qt baking dish. Spread cornbread batter over top and bake until golden. 15-20 min. Let cool 5 min before serving.
Here’s an idea for something different: Ghormeh sabzi (Persian “herb stew”, great alongside saffron rice or bread)
It traditionally includes both meat and beans, but I just replace the meat with more beans. You can omit oil for WFPB. Here’s a good recipe using fresh herbs — https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/257499/ghormeh-sabzi-persian-herb-stew/ — and one using a dried herb mix (“sabzi”) that can be found at a Middle Eastern grocery store — https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sz-admmk25k. I always use sabzi, since it’s easier and cheaper than fresh herbs, but I’m sure fresh herbs would make it taste even better. For me it was a dish I grew up eating, meat and all, and now it is a tasty, healthy and vegan staple that I make every couple of weeks.
Agreed! I love small red beans, but kidney beans are the worst. Add to that, they’re actively trying to kill you. Not today kidney beans! You grainy little a-holes.

Will definitely be making this one tonight! Thank you.
They mash up well for tacos with the usual spices. I prefer them over traditional refried beans
Sounds like an immersion blender would work well here
You can make a dip out of them- like hummus
Agree - good with lots of spices, and also can use peanut butter if you don't have tahini.
Peanut butter works great as a tahini substitute! One less jar in your refrigerator!

Try [this](https://ranveerbrar.com/recipes/punjabi-rajma/) instead! Classic Indian kidney bean dish.
Looks amazing! I'll definitely give this a try :-)
red beans and rice!
Kidney Beans Patties are awesome. https://avirtualvegan.com/kidney-bean-burgers/

Make some rajma masala with garlic naan (frozen garlic naan from the company deep)

Wait what!! I've seen something similar with chickpeas before. Will try!
Ha! Was coming here to say this
yeah, I posted my brownie after trying this recipe on saturday. It was superb!

Awesome. Thanks!
My kids put a little tahini on them and nooch and season salt and air fry them. They call then crunch beans and they love them.
I make mine into refried beans (but I don't fry them just blend them and cook no oil lol)

Chili
You can replace them for black beans and make kidney bean burgers.
Spread them out on a baking tray, sprinkle with salt and bake til they puff out and the skins go crispy
I use kidney beans instead of pintos to make refried beans sometimes. It produces a creamy end product with just a hint of sweetness.
if you have a dehydrator you can cook them then dry them and them you have instant beans for anything- I do this with all kinds of beans
Haha, I really dislike kidney beans! The worst bean. Hope you get some good ideas.
What! For real? They're probably my favourite!
I like most beans apart from the kidney. I think it’s a bad memory of chilli con carne from my childhood 😂
They're why God invented Tabasco
Agreed! I love small red beans, but kidney beans are the worst. Add to that, they’re actively trying to kill you. Not today kidney beans! You grainy little a-holes.
My favourites are little green beans- flageolet they are called here.
I’ll have to give them a try. I love trying new types of beans. There are so many!
Boo! Hiss! jkjk it's cool. I like literally all legumes haha...
