Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine broth, water, rinsed red beans, rinsed brown rice, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, sliced celery, Creole seasoning, minced garlic, hot sauce, dried thyme, dried oregano, and bay leaves in the Instant Pot®. Stir well to ensure even distribution. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Secure the Instant Pot® lid and set the valve to sealing. Select high pressure and set the timer for 50 minutes. Allow approximately 20 minutes for the pressure to build.

03

Step

Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure manually.

04

Step

Remove the lid and stir the Red Beans and Rice. Let it stand for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

05

Step

Divide the Red Beans and Rice among serving dishes and garnish generously with fresh parsley before serving.

For a richer flavor, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery in a tablespoon of olive oil directly in the Instant Pot® before adding the remaining ingredients.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, start with 1 teaspoon.
If you don't have Creole seasoning, you can make your own blend using a combination of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper.
For added protein, consider serving with plant-based sausage or a side of grilled tofu.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    The Creole seasoning really makes this dish. I used a store-bought blend, and it was delicious.

    Next time, I'll try adding some smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
