Ingredients
- A splash of fragrant olive oil
- A delightful mixture of frozen bell peppers, celery, and onions from the charming Pictsweet® Farms Seasoning Blend
- A couple of minced garlic cloves
- A generous portion of dried red beans
- A large amount of water
- A trio of grand bay leaves
- A hint of liquid smoke flavoring, according to your preference
- A sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper
Step 1
Start by activating a versatile pressure cooker like the Instant Pot® and opt for the Saute function. Warm up some oil in it and saute a medley of frozen veggies along with garlic until they turn tender, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Toss in your choice of beans, pour in water, and add a couple of bay leaves. Once done, switch off the Saute mode and secure the lid tightly.
Step 2
Follow the specific guidelines for your device to set it on high pressure and adjust the timer for a duration of 40 minutes. Allow the pressure to build up for roughly 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
After the cooking time is up, decompress the pressure using the natural-release technique, adhering to the manufacturer's instructions, for a minimum of 20 minutes. Unlock the lid, and now it's time to season your dish with a touch of liquid smoke, salt, and pepper. Feel free to gently mix and slightly mash the beans to your desired consistency before serving up this flavorful creation.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your vegan red beans in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent any odors from seeping into them.
- 2. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days if you plan to enjoy them throughout the week. This will keep them cool and ready to heat up when you're ready to eat.
