So picture this: I am standing in my kitchen at 5:00pm, staring at a bag of dry beans, thinking about how I wish we could have red beans and rice for dinner. But red beans and rice is known for cooking low, slow and LONG.
That is why I decided to adapt that recipe to the pressure cooker! And it is a GEM of a recipe, y’all! I was able to have it on the table in about an hour and a half

I had to try it a few times before I got it just right. The biggest obstacle was that the meat texture got all weird when I cooked everything all at once.
So my solution: I cook everything but the meat, and then throw the meat in for the last 15 minutes of cook time (+ more time for natural pressure release).

Total time: 127 minutes
Servings: 10 Servings

Ingredients :
1 medium onion diced
1 bell pepper diced
3 celery stalks diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 pound dry red kidney beans
1 tsp salt or more to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp white pepper (optional)
1 tsp hot sauce (I used Texas Pete.)
1 tsp fresh thyme or ½ tsp dried thyme
2 leaves bay
7 cups water
1 pound chicken andouille sausage cut into thin slices
10 cups cooked rice

Instructions :
• Add all ingredients, except for sausage and rice to the Instant Pot.
• Place the lid on, lock it, and set to manual high pressure for 28 minutes.
• At the end of the 28 minutes, use the quick release method (release the valve).
• When the Instant Pot is fully depressurized the pin will fall, and you can remove the lid.
• Run the lid under cold water, and set aside. This will help the Instant Pot to re-seal.
• Add the chicken andouille sausage, place the lid on and lock it.
• Use the manual setting at 15 minutes high pressure, and allow the Instant Pot to release naturally this time (no using the pressure release valve, just let it sit until the pin drops). Mine took about 26 minutes to naturally release, FYI.
• You can let the beans mixture sit with the lid of for a few minutes to thicken the liquid.
• Serve the bean mixture over a cup of cooked rice.
