Vegan Pressure Cooker Red Beans And Rice Food

VEGAN PRESSURE COOKER RED BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Turn on the sauté setting of a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until limp and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, miso paste, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and sage (if using). Grind in a generous amount of black pepper and add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then turn off the sauté setting.
• Add the beans, bay leaves, thyme and 5 1/2 cups water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Cook on high pressure until the beans are creamy, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually and open the lid. Add the soy sauce, and season to taste with salt and cayenne. Using a fork, mash some of the beans against the side of the pressure cooker to make the mixture creamy. It will continue to thicken as it sits, or you can turn on the sauté setting and let the mixture bubble for a few minutes to thicken. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Top the beans with hot cooked rice and scallions; serve with hot sauce.

VEGAN RED BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Soak the red beans at least 24 hours, longer if you have the time.
• Place the beans in a 4qt pot with a lid. Cover wit the water they have soaked inches Add more water to make about 5 cups.
• Add 2-3 bay leaves to the mixture, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the beans are soft. This can take about 45 minutes depending on the beans.
• Take the diced vegetables and place them in the bottom of a crock pot or stock pot. Add the tyme, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• Take about two cups of the bean liquid out of the pot. Save this liquid.
• Now pour the beans and remaining liquid over the vegetables in the crock pot. Add just enough of the extra liquid to cover the beans and vegetables. You may not have much extra bean liquid after this, but that's OK, just add water if you have to.
• Simmer this mixture for at least two hours, longer if you can. I like to start in the morning and leave the mixture in the crock pot until dinner. If the liquid begins to boil away, add more of the bean liquid or water to keep everything covered.
• Once the vegetables have fallen apart, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon. This should thicken the liquid to a gravy consistency.
• Let the mix simmer while you make the rice.
• Make the rice in another pot. Add 1c rice and 2c cold water, a dash of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook covered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is gone. Fluff with a fork before serving.
• To serve, put a big helping of rice on a plate. Cover with the red bean mixture. Serve with hot sauce.
• Note: To make a non-vegan version of this recipe just cook a ham bone with the beans. You can also add chopped ham or sausage to the mix, or serve with a porkchop or sausage on the side. You can vary the spices to your taste, but the bay, tyme, bell pepper, onion and celery make the basic flavor of the recipe so don't omit them.
