  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Sauté Sausage:

Pressure Cook:

  • Lock lid in place and close the pressure release valve.

  • Carefully remove the lid, allowing steam to escape.

Finish and Serve:

  • Transfer sausages to a serving platter and tent with foil.
  • Stir spinach into the bean mixture, adding a handful at a time, until slightly wilted (about 1 minute).
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
