Instructions


-1 Turn on the Instant Pot to the Saute setting. Set for 30 minutes.Add the butter, and stir until melted.
-1 Add the sausage to the pan, and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, and then remove. (Please note that it doesn’t have to be cooked through for you to remove it. We just want to get some good color on it.)
-1 When the sausage is out of the pan and cooling on a cutting board, add in the garlic, onion and bell pepper. Season with red pepper flakes and salt. Cook until soft, about 10-15 minutes.
-1 Slice the sausage as the veggies cook until soft.
-1 When the veggies are soft, pour in the stock. Add the beans, bay leaf and sliced sausage.
-1 Place the lid onto the Instant Pot, and seal. Cook on high pressure for 2 hours 30 minutes.
-1 Let the Instant Pot’s pressure release naturally, and then remove the top carefully.
-1 If desired, smash some of the red beans with a potato masher or the back of your spoon. This will give the sauce a thicker, creamier texture.
-1 Serve over warm white rice with a garnish of parsley.
