Ingredients
- 6 cups dried beans that were soaked overnight about ¾ of a 16 oz bag of dried beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup small dice spicy turkish sausage about 4 oz
- ¾ cup red onion small dice (about 1 small onion)
- 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp heaping of red pepper paste
- 1 tsp kosher salt reduce to ½ tsp if using low-sodium broth
- 4 cups of water or low-sodium broth of choice
FOR SERVING:
- chopped fresh parsley optional
- red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Presoak the dried beans overnight. Set aside.
- Push the saute button on your instant pot. Add the olive oil, onions, garlic, Turkish sausage, salt, and pepper into the pot. Cook until the onions have softened and the sausage gets a little crispy.
- Next, add the red pepper paste, and oregano to the onion and sausage mixture. Cook for about 30 seconds or so to fry the paste. The oil and everything in it will turn a deep red color at this point.
- When ready, add in the white beans, water (or low-sodium broth), and put the lid on. Turn off the saute button and set the instant pot to the soup/stew button or cook for 30-minutes.
- When the timer goes off, turn the steam release valve to release the build-up steam. Open the pot and generously ladle the desired amount of stew into your favorite bowl.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and red pepper flakes (both optional).
- Enjoy!
