Instant Pot Cassoulet

Calling this a cassoulet is probably incorrect, as a traditional cassoulet is a stew that simmers over many hours. This one is made in the Instant Pot, so while you might get the same deliciousness, you are getting it in a much shorter time. Oh well. Call it what you want. I'm sticking with cassoulet.

Instant Pot Cassoulet

1# dried navy beans, soaked overnight

One package vegan sausage (we tend to stick with Beyond Meat sausage because we like the texture), baked

One small onion, studded with cloves

2 1# cans of diced tomatoes

One bay leaf

1/8 t. each - rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, sage, marjoram,and tarragon

Drain the tomatoes into a measuring cup and add water to make 2 c. Add all ingredients, except for the sausage, into the Instant Pot. Close cover and set timer to 25 minutes. After pressure has been released, remove the clove studded onion and the bay leaf, slice the sausage into coins and add to the beans and tomatoes mixture. I sprinkled some buttered crumbs on top. Serve. Enjoy!
