Are you making chilli con carne for dinner and want your kidney beans to have the wow factor? Then you must cook instant pot kidney beans. Much better than any canned variety and so easy too.
Rinse and then place into the instant pot 2 cups of dried kidney beans.
Add 1.5 cups of water, followed by seasonings, and mix well.
Add a frozen vegetable stock cube on top.
Place the lid on the instant pot. Set the valve to sealing and cook for 30 minutes.
Do a 10 minute natural pressure release before releasing pressure, stir, and serve.
Notes
Texture. We all like our kidney beans different. 30 minutes with a NPR will produce just cooked white beans that don’t go to mush and is perfect for mixing with rice or into a salad for a one pot dinner. If you want mushy beans do a 40 minute cook time and then do a natural pressure release.Quantities. One recipe is 2 cups of kidney beans, and they will make double when cooked.Frozen Stock. Your frozen stock sits on top and will defrost as the beans cook, creating a much more flavoursome beans recipe.Thanks for reading our instant pot kidney beans recipe on Recipe This.
