Ultimate Red Beans and Rice with Savory Sausage in the Instant Pot
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    1 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

  • A single tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • Sliced into rounds, and weighing 14 ounces, andouille sausage
  • A medium-sized onion, finely chopped
  • One green bell pepper, also chopped
  • Chopped celery stalks, totaling three in number
  • Minced garlic, amounting to a single clove
  • Creole seasoning (like Tony Chachere's®) in a quantity of 2 teaspoons
  • Ground thyme, measured at 1 teaspoon
  • Oregano in an amount of 1 teaspoon
  • Red beans, dried and totaling 1 pound
  • Chicken broth, amounting to 4 cups
  • A tablespoon of hot sauce (such as Louisiana®)
  • A singular bay leaf
  • Hot cooked rice, measuring 4 cups
  • Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, about ¼ cup
  • Green onions, three in number, all chopped

Step 1

Start by heating up a multi-functional pressure cooker like an Instant Pot® and choosing the Saute function. Pour in some oil and allow it to heat up for around 30 seconds. Toss in the sausage and let it cook for approximately 5 minutes. Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage onto a plate and keep it aside for later.

Step 2

Next, add in the onion, bell pepper, and celery into the Instant Pot, cooking them for about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic, Creole seasoning, thyme, and oregano, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Turn off the pot.

Step 3

Now, mix in the beans, broth, hot sauce, and bay leaf with the sautéed vegetables in the Instant Pot. Seal the lid securely and set it to high pressure, setting the timer for 30 minutes. Wait for around 10 minutes for the pressure to build up.

Step 4

Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally following the manufacturer's guidelines, which could take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock the lid and take out the bay leaf, discarding it. Stir in the reserved cooked sausage.

Step 5

Switch back to the Saute function and cook, stirring occasionally to slightly mash some of the beans and thicken the mixture, for roughly 10 minutes. Turn off the pot and let it sit for another 10 minutes.

Step 6

When ready to serve, dish out the beans on top of hot cooked rice, garnishing with fresh parsley and chopped green onions for a flavorful touch.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it Fresh : Store the cooked red beans and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This will ensure it stays fresh and ready for a quick meal.
  2. 2. Freeze for Later : If you have leftovers, portion them out into individual containers and freeze them for later. Simply thaw and reheat for a delicious meal on a busy day.
