Combine onion, broccoli, celery, and garlic in a food processor. Add 1/4 cup water, ginger, dill, and salt, process until mixture is pureed.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the puree, saute until water evaporates and puree is thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add black beans and kidney beans and gently mix. Reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a Dutch oven.
Heat oil in another nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add rice, toast until rice is slightly glassy and smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cups water. Pour rice and water into the Dutch oven, stir in the bean mixture.
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven, until all liquid evaporates, about 45 minutes. Mix occasionally to allow uniform baking.
