16ouncessausage - andouillekielbasa, or smoked sausage, sliced
2cupscooked rice
Instructions
Turn the Instant Pot on Saute and let it heat for 2 minutes. Add the oil along with the chopped onion, bell pepper and celery.
2 Tablespoons oil, 1/2 large onion, 1 bell pepper, 4 celery stalks
Saute for 2-3 minutes and then turn off the Instant Pot.
Add the 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot to deglaze it. Scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon and make sure there are no burned bits of vegetables on the bottom. This reduces the chances of getting a Burn error.
2 cups water
Add the red beans, chicken broth, garlic, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, thyme, Cajun seasoning and dried parsley. Stir to mix well.
Set the Instant Pot on Manual, high pressure for 30 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach pressure.
When the pressure cooker finishes do a quick release of the pressure. Take the lid off and add the sliced sausage, stirring to mix.
16 ounces sausage - andouille
Put the lid back on and set the Instant Pot on Manual mode, high pressure, for 15 minutes. You might need to run the lid under cold water to get it to reseal more quickly.
After the second cooking time is up let the Instant Pot do a full natural release. This will probably take about 20 minutes.
Serve over the cooked rice.
Notes
You can use red kidney beans instead of small red beans.If the final dish is too soupy then take some of the beans and liquid out and mash them with a potato masher. Stir them back in to thicken the dish.If you want a vegetarian dish leave out the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.I have an 6 quart Instant Pot and make and test my recipe in that. If you have a different size or brand of pressure cooker you might need to make adjustments to the recipe.
