PRESSURE COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE
This is a pressure cooker spin on the New Orleans classic (though we have a slow cooker version, too, if that's more your speed). Pressure cookers have a special way with dried beans, cooking even unsoaked beans quickly and evenly, so that the beans become creamy but retain their shape. Here, you want the beans to be very soft, so that the stew is thick, not brothy. "Monday red beans" are traditionally flavored with a leftover pork bone, so you can use one instead of a ham hock, if you like. If you have a favorite Cajun or Creole seasoning blend, use 1 heaping tablespoon of it in place of the sage, cayenne, garlic, onion and paprika, and taste before adding any salt, since seasoning blends vary in salinity.

Steps:
- Turn on the sauté setting of a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and sage (if using); grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then turn off the sauté setting.
- Add the beans, sausage, ham hock, bay leaves, thyme and 5 1/2 cups water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Cook on high pressure until the beans are creamy, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually and open the lid. Taste the beans to make sure they are tender, and add salt and cayenne to taste. Using a fork, mash some of the beans against the side of the pressure cooker to make the mixture creamy; you can turn on the sauté setting and let the mixture bubble for a few minutes to thicken, if you like, but it will also continue to thicken as it sits. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs, and pick the meat off the ham hock if you like. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.
INSTANT POT® VEGAN RED BEANS AND RICE
All of the Instant Pot® recipes I have seen in the past call for cooking the rice separately on the stove while the beans are cooking. I wanted to throw it all in and go and this is what I came up with. This is a meal on its own but when I want to stretch it out, I fry up some plant-based sausage to go with it.

SOUTHERN RED BEANS & RICE FOR THE PRESSURE COOKER
This is an adaptation of a New Orleans style recipe. I've made it vegetarian & adapted it for the pressure cooker. If you're lucky enough to own a pressure cooker it's a great, fast way to cook any dried beans without soaking in less than an hour. In this preparation I intentionally mash the beans because I enjoy a thicker gravy consistency to my red beans. As a warning, I'm a southern girl so I enjoy food with a little kick. If you don't like spicy food, definitely cut the cayenne in this recipe in half.

Steps:
- In your pressure cooker without the lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions, bell pepper, celery, & garlic for about 5 minutes,.
- Add all the other ingredients, then attach pressure cooker lid & seal with rubber sealing ring and rocker weight installed. Heat on high until the rocker begins to oscillate, then adjust heat down until the rocker weight oscillates to a slow rhythm (between 2 & 3 on my electric stove). Cook 45 minutes. Remove pot from heat & allow pressure to release.
- After all pressure has been released, carefully remove the lid. Remove the bay leaves with a slotted spoon. Use a potato masher to partially mash the beans. Stir over medium low heat for five minutes to allow the liquid to thicken, adding additional water if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish with green onion & hot sauce if you'd like.

VEGAN PRESSURE COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE
Here's a vegan version of the classic New Orleans dish that uses smoked paprika, miso paste and soy sauce to add a savory notes. Pressure cookers are ideal for preparing dried beans; even unsoaked beans cook quickly and evenly, so that the beans become creamy but still keep their shape (though we've got instructions for a slow cooker approach, too). Here, you want the beans to be very tender, so that the stew is thick - with a few beans that have slightly broken down - and not soupy. This vegan version of "Monday red beans" is not as creamy as the one made with pork, so smashing a few beans against the side of the pot at the end of cooking is particularly important. Louisiana-style hot sauce is key as well.

Steps:
- Turn on the sauté setting of a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, miso paste, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and sage (if using). Grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then turn off the sauté setting.
- Add the beans, bay leaves, thyme and 5 1/2 cups water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Cook on high pressure until the beans are creamy, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually and open the lid. Add the soy sauce, and season to taste with salt and cayenne. Using a fork, mash some of the beans against the side of the pressure cooker to make the mixture creamy. It will continue to thicken as it sits, or you can turn on the sauté setting and let the mixture bubble for a few minutes to thicken. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.
Tips:
- Soak the beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours helps to reduce cooking time and improve the texture of the beans.
- Use a variety of beans: Feel free to mix and match different types of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, or pinto beans, to create a more flavorful dish.
- Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans can become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the beans according to the package instructions or until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Add aromatics: Aromatics such as onions, garlic, celery, and bell peppers add flavor and depth to the dish. Sauté them in a little bit of oil before adding the beans and other ingredients.
- Use flavorful broth: Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth, instead of water to cook the beans. This will add more flavor to the dish.
- Season to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Red beans and rice is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Popular sides include cornbread, coleslaw, and potato salad.
Conclusion:
Red beans and rice is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. With its combination of tender beans, flavorful rice, and aromatic spices, it's a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
