Equipment
- instant pot
Ingredients
- 1 pound red kidney beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound cooked chicken andouille sausage cut into ½-inch chunks
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper stemmed seeded, and finely chopped
- 4 ribs celery finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
- ½ tablespoon ground sage
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups chicken stock
- Smoked turkey parts necks, wings, butt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2-3 bay leaves
- Cooked white rice for serving
Instructions
- Before getting started mix all the spices up in a small bowl or ramekin
- Heat instant pot via “More” saute settings. Once display reads “Hot” add the oil and let it get hot before adding the sausage and smoked meat. Brown 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the meat and set aside
- Add the onions, peppers, and celery cooking for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic plus ⅓ of seasoning mix and cook for another minute
- Add sausage and smoked meat back plus the beans, dried herbs, bay leaves and another ⅓ of seasoning. Mix well then “cancel” sautéing.
- Add stock, remaining seasonings and enough water to cover beans by about 2 inches. Close the lid and pressure cook 60 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for about 20 minutes.
Notes
- Discard smoked meat and bay leaves. Serve red beans over steamed white rice.
- Rinse the beans well and remove any rocks and/or hard particles that may have found their way in
- Brown the sausage and smoked turkey according to browning meat in Instant Pot instructions to render their fat and release more flavor
- After cooking remove the pork/turkey parts whichever you use.
- A good andouille sausage negates the need to go heavy on the spices, particularly the cayenne.
- Definitely go with natural release to allow the flavors to meld better and for the beans to melt to creaminess
