Ingredients
- 1 lb. dried red kidney beans
- 5.5 cups water
- 1 green pepper, small dice
- 2 large onions, small dice
- 4 stalks of celery, small dice
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 28 oz. petite diced tomatoes
- 2 Tablespoons of Tony Chachaire's Creole Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon of Hungarian Paprika
- I didn't add salt or pepper, the Creole Seasoning was salty. I also didn't add additional hot pepper flakes, as the Creole Seasoning gave it enough kick.
Steps
- I cooked my beans in the Instant Pot because I didn't want the hassle of watching them on the stove all day. It works great, no presoaking, just use 2 cups of dried beans and 5.5 cups water. Manually set the Instant Pot to an hour and fifteen minutes, natural release.
- While the beans are cooking prep veggies, and put them in stockpot with the tomatoes. After beans are cooked, add to the stockpot and simmer everything covered for 30 minutes.
- I also cooked my rice in the IP after I removed the beans. Love the Instant pot.
- I wanted a vegetarian version so I didn't add cajun sausage. I cut Zatarain's Cajun Sausage in small disks and browned it in olive oil for hubby, then when I served it, I added the sausage to his Red Beans and Rice. Excellent recipe, top with green onions, serve with French bread, so simple.
