Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

⅔ cup dry navy beans
⅔ ounce dry kidney beans
⅔ ounce dry black beans
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 (32 fluid ounce) container vegetable stock
4 cups water
1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa sausage, sliced
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked orzo pasta

Steps:

  • Combine navy, kidney, and black beans in a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) with 6 cups water. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 27 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • In the meantime, heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Saute onion, carrots, and celery until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add flour and stir until well coated. Pour in stock and water. Add kielbasa, salt, pepper, parsley, basil, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Release pressure on the beans using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Drain.
  • Bring stew back to a boil. Add the beans and orzo. Boil until orzo is soft and flavors come together, about 9 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

I found this stew to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
