Good morning!!!!

Mmmmm, Kyle, that sounds delicious. What's the recipe?:licking:

Red Beans and Rice Pressure Cooker Recipe - Instant Pot

I'm using my favorite pork and beef sausage, so I'm not following exactly. Many recommend smoked ham hocks IIRC.

Oh, and I omitted the bell pepper. Can't do bell peppers unless I want to pay the fiddler later.

I'm on it, though I'll have to dig through the freezer to see what kind of meat is in there.

Both bell peppers and celery are off my diet, but that's not a big deal.

Thanks!

OK, here's a question for our resident heart-healthy chef:

That red beans'n'rice recipe called for sauteing the onion in 2 tablespoons of oil.

How do you saute without using oil?

very slowly with some water, but it takes more water, because it steams off. Basically, you are steaming the onions tender.

Wouldn't putting the onions in with the meat/spices and pressure cooking 'em have the same effect?

When I saute, I get a browning/caramelizing flavor. Not sure steaming would do that, or if the flavor is pronounced enough to be noticed.

Did you pressure cook for the entire hour, Kyle? I plan to start out at 30 minutes, and go longer if the meat isn't fully tenderized/shredable.

Oh, and I forgot to put in some liquid smoke, but I did add extra cayenne!

Get the Instant Pot hot on the Sauté button. Add the chopped onions and stir, (I use a wooden spatula) just when they start to turn brown and brown stays on the bottom of the pot add a little water and the brow will come off and by the time the water evaporates off the onions are translucent and sautéed.

I started with completely dry beans. Cooked for 50 minutes, let it sit for 10 minutes while off. They needed more cooking. Put on high for another 30 minutes, then let it set for another 20 minutes while off. They are done now, but not too mushy.

Good deal, thanks Don.

Our 8 quart, when set on high saute, burned my onions in a blink (with olive oil). Wifey says high is too high unless you're right on top of it.....She said she saute's on Low or medium. I had no idea these things could "pour the coals to it" with the heater they have.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Oh man are they good. I made my rice on the sticky side (I like it that way). I used cayenne too. Maybe only 1 teaspoon, plus the black pepper.

Who's rooting for who on these playoff games? Or is that a dangerous question....

This is how to do it in my ceramic pan.

If you think of it in advance ... rinse your beans and let them soak in water for a couple of hours. That will cut your cooking time. You would probably be at 30-40 minutes then natural pressure release.

I use 1/2 tsp. of liquid smoke with my baby back ribs and now the silicone seal ring has taken on the smoky smell. The only time I really notice it is when I remove the lid prior to using IP.

I made a batch of IP Chicken Noodle Soup this morning before daylight.



Lunch. It didn't suck at all



I'm thinking of same for dinner with some air fryer Texas Toast.

This was my first try at making CN Soup in the IP. I usually make it on the stove top in a 12 qt. pot. This batch needs more noodles, IMHO, but I ran out of space in the IP, so ... I'm going to cook some addition noodles in chicken broth, and add them into the pot before I divide it up into storage containers.

The IP pork loin roast and potatoes ... will wait for Sunday dinner.

This is the sausage I normally used with my RB&R Kyle.

I saute onions for over 5 min no problem.

Wife said it looks as good in a pan on the stove, lol. She is afraid to use the IP.

Rick- Your CN soup looks good enough to smell here. I am impressed with the IP products presented here. I am old school. BEF's Wife and I agree. My Presto® pressure cooker does the cooking essentials.

I made pizza tonight. Wife with assistance made the whole wheat dough. I made the sauce and prepped toppings (anchovies are a must)

 

[Looking4new]

I got my storm, YES!

Snow coming, about 8" on top of the inch we got today before it is over late tomorrow morning I should get to plow about 10" or so depending on drifting. Seat time!

jbrumberg; you mention pressure cooker and I immediately think of still.

Did she use yeast in the dough? Mine never seems to rise enough when I use whole wheat flour.

That’s a yummy looking soup, Rick
