Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Additional Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 links Andouille sausage diced
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 rib celery chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 pound dry red kidney beans
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • Cooked white rice for serving
  • Hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  • Add the oil to the insert and turn to sauté. Add the sausage and cook 7-8 minutes, or until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
  • Add the onions to the pot insert and cook 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the garlic, celery, and green pepper. Season with cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
  • Add the beans, sage, and bay leaves. Add enough stock to cover the beans; stir to combine.
  • Place the lid on the pot and seal. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally. Stir in the browned sausage, using the back of your spoon to gently mash some of the beans until they look creamy. Stir in the vinegar and green onions.
  • Serve the red beans with rice and top with hot sauce, as desired.
