Jamaican Instant Pot Rice and Beans
This recipe brings together long-grain rice and kidney beans, simmered in coconut milk with allspice and thyme, for a hearty side or main. You'll start by sautéing aromatics in the Instant Pot, then layering in the rice, liquids, and beans before pressure cooking. The stovetop method is also included if you prefer that approach, yielding a similar tender texture.
