Red Beans and Rice

01Method

1. 1

   Submerge the kidney beans in a large bowl with plenty of cold water and allow them to soak for 2 hours.

2. 2

   Activate the Sauté function on the pressure cooker, then pour in the olive oil and add the sausage. Stir and cook until the sausage is nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion mix and garlic, cooking until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Switch off the Sauté mode.

3. 3

   Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the Cajun seasoning, thyme, and bay leaves.

4. 4

   Secure the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and select the Bean setting (approximately 30 minutes). Once the cycle finishes, allow the pressure to release naturally until the float valve drops, then remove the lid.

5. 5

   Spoon the beans over portions of cooked rice and serve.
