Mom's Amazing Stewed Red Beans

#stewedbeans #caribbeanstew #redbeans #stew #vegan #vegetarian #légumes #STEWEDREDBEANS There's nothing quite like the comfort of Mom's stewed red beans—a staple at our family Christmas dinners, always paired with macaroni pie, callaloo, curry duck, and dhalpuri for a true taste of home. My mom’s version, now adapted for the Instant Pot, is both rich and comforting, with layers of Caribbean flavors and a creamy texture that makes it a standout side dish. This recipe has a unique touch: the addition of carrots, pumpkin, and coconut milk. The vegetables are cooked early in the process, breaking down into a naturally sweet, velvety base that mellows the dish’s overall flavor. A touch of brown sugar provides balance, adding a subtle sweetness that complements the rich seasonings. My kids especially love this version because the vegetables are blended into the background, letting the beans and creamy coconut take center stage.
