Instant Pot® Vegan Red Beans and Rice

Instant Pot® Vegan Red Beans and Rice

All of the Instant Pot® recipes I have seen in the past call for cooking the rice separately on the stove while the beans are cooking. I wanted to throw it all in and go and this is what I came up with. This is a meal on its own but when I want to stretch it out, I fry up some plant-based sausage to go with it.
