Notes
This instant pot Jamaican rice and peas recipe calls for dried kidney beans. If you would like to reduce the cooking time, use one can of cooked red kidney beans instead of 1 cup of dried kidney beans. Dump all the ingredients in the instant pot (including the cooked kidney beans from the can), cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Use the natural release method.
