<\/p>\nInstant Pot Red Beans and Rice<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 cups white long grain rice<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon olive oil<\/p>\n
1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage, thinly sliced<\/p>\n
4 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n
1 onion, diced<\/p>\n
1 green bell pepper, diced<\/p>\n
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced<\/p>\n
1 pound dry red beans<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning<\/p>\n
1 teaspoon dried oregano<\/p>\n
1\/2 teaspoon dried basil<\/p>\n
1\/4 teaspoon dried sage<\/p>\n
2 sprigs fresh thyme<\/p>\n
2 bay leaves<\/p>\n
4 cup low sodium vegetable broth<\/p>\n
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more, to taste<\/p>\n
2 green onions, thinly sliced<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a large saucepan of 3 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside. Set a 6-qt Instant Pot\u00c2\u00ae to the high saut\u00c3\u00a9 setting. Add olive oil and sausage. Cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Add garlic, onion, bell pepper and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in sausage, red beans, Cajun seasoning, oregano, basil, sage, thyme, bay leaves and vegetable broth; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 30-35 minutes. When finished cooking, release pressure naturally according to manufacturer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s directions, about 20-30 minutes. Serve immediately with rice and hot sauce, garnished with green onions, if desired.\u00c2\u00a0 Note: If the beans are not soft after 30-35 minutes of high pressure cooking and 20-30 minutes of naturally releasing pressure, you can simply re-secure the lid, seal the vent, and cook for an additional 20 minutes at high pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
