Red Beans and Rice

This is probably my favorite Red Beans and Rice recipe ever. Mom found it in a healthy eating book and I have not been able to find it anywhere else since. It is not even in the family cookbook. So here it is, along with a picture of what it looks like.

Red beans and rice

2 - 1 lb 14 oz or, 4 - 15 oz cans of red kidney beans
2 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½  teaspoon  black pepper
teaspoon  ground cumin
teaspoon  salt
1 ½ cup celery chopped
1 ½ cup onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
3 cups cooked brown rice
teaspoon  sugar

Warm olive oil in a pan, add garlic cloves onion and celery, cook until tender, then dump everything else in and cook it. Cook rice and combine with mix.
