Red Beans & Rice (Pressure Cooker) image

This is a flavorful, spicy recipe. Not sure how authentic it is, but it's delicious! I created this scaled down recipe because I live alone, and it's nice to not have to make 10 servings. I like it with less liquid like this, just enough to create a sort of spicy "gravy". You can use more depending on what consistency you like. Try serving it with a cool cucumber/onion salad.

  • Warm the oil and fat in the pressure cooker over medium heat.

  • Cook at pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, let the pressure drop.
  • Serve over white rice, garnished with the green onions or parsley, and hot sauce, if desired.
