Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot® Vegan Red Beans with NOLA Flavor.
Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot® to the 'Sauté' function and drizzle in some olive oil to warm it up.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your frozen vegetable blend along with minced garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant veggies for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their delightful aromas.
Step 4
Next, stir in the dried red beans, followed by a generous pour of water and the fragrant bay leaves.
Step 5
After everything is well combined, turn off the 'Sauté' function and securely fasten the lid on your Instant Pot®.
Step 6
Now, select 'High Pressure' and set the timer for 40 minutes.
Step 7
Don’t forget to allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up—this is when the magic begins! When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for at least 20 minutes; this step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture.
Step 8
Once the time is up, carefully unlock the lid and take a moment to enjoy the wonderful aroma wafting from your pot.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to season your beans! Add a splash of liquid smoke, along with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 10
Give everything a good mix, and if you like, mash the beans to your preferred consistency.
Step 11
Serve up this hearty dish and savor the comforting flavors that come together so beautifully.
Step 12
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
