This quick and easy main course dish uses butter beans and smoked sausage.  No need to soak or parboil the beans, the instant pot ensures fully cooked, soft and creamy beans.

I was inspired to make this meal after watching the film, Knives Out........

I am hosting this month's Food n' Flix and have invited others to join me in watching the film, Knives Out.  You are invited too.  You can learn how to join in my invitation post.

I had a lot of fun watching this dark comedy about a dysfunctional family whose very rich father had died of an apparant suicide that is being anonymously investigated as a murder.  

There is an all star cast for your enjoyment pleasure including Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans.  There is not a ton of food inspiration but there is enough to get us by and if you really pay attention you might even come up with something the others don't.

I took my inspiration from a restaurant scene in which grandson, Ransom, takes his grandfather's nurse, Marta,  out to dinner in an attempt to extract information and plant ideas.  He ordered her beans and sausage ensuring that she would tell only the truth.  You see, she has a condition that causes her to vomit whenever she tries to lie.

We are watching and posting our recipes inspired until the November 27th.  I will be posting a roundup of everyone's recipes on November 30th.  Hope you join us.
