Instant Pot® Vegan Red Beans and Rice image

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.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of cayenne pepper. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would make it again.
