Fo FaRed Beans With Ham Hocks Instant Pot IP
A one pound bag of dried beans is too much for just the two of us so I break them in half and make two different things out of them. The first go-round which was the first time I tried making dried beans in my instant pot, was red beans and rice. Don't look, you won't find it here because even though it tasted exceptionally good there were quite a few fails during the process. So I modified the recipe and here is the new one, but we're eating this with bread instead of rice because my wife wanted to, so it has a thinner broth. So give this a try and I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it. If you use a different type of bean, most likely you will need to adjust the cooking time. These small red beans take a lot longer to cook then some other types of dried beans.
Ingredient
Food ration :
2-3 servings
8 Oz.

2 cups
broth
6-8 Oz.
Smoked sausage
1/2
onion
1-2 stalk
celery
1-3
carrot
1/2-1

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
These are the types of beans I am using. Half the bag in my case.
* Step 2
Add dried beans to IP liner, after picking through them for debris.
* Step 3
Add broth, it needs to cover dried beans by about an inch to an inch and half, adjust as required, the ingredients measurement is a guide line.
* Step 4
Type of Sausage I am using
* Step 5
Ham Hocks I am using (half the package) boneless
* Step 6
Slice sausage, add to the liner with ham Hocks
* Step 7
Clean and cut veggies, I like a larger cut, add seasoning. Decision point - if you salt before you cook the beans they have a slight firmer texture, if you salt after the beans are cooked they have a softer texture. Add salt for the texture of beans you desire. Here for firmer, later for softer.
* Step 8
Set IP to pressure cook for 50 minutes, high.
* Step 9
I allow it to rest for 5 minutes after the cook time, just to make sure it has settled down inside, then quick release remaining pressure
* Step 10
Remove lid, remove ham hocks, debone (if needed) and shred, put meat back into pot, stir.
* Step 11
We were eating this with bread, not rice. We wanted a thinner soup like constancy. It you want red beans & rice, you can either take a stick blender and beat up some of the beans, or use a corn starch slurry to thicken it.
