Cajun Red Beans and Sausage
Ingredients
  • 1 pound dried red beans, rinsed
  • 1 (1 pound) package smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, or to taste
  • 1/2 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 5 cups cold water, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine cooked red beans, sliced sausage, a bay leaf, Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, chopped onion, diced celery, green pepper, salt, and parsley in a pressure cooker. Add water to the desired level, adhering strictly to the manufacturer's guidelines and avoiding excess liquid that may spill over the pot's rim. Mix everything together.
2
Close the lid of the pressure cooker and apply high heat until it reaches its maximum pressure. Gradually shift to low heat, maintaining the full pressure, and cook for 30 minutes. After the cooking time has elapsed, allow the pressure to release naturally on its own. Remove the lid and give the mixture a gentle stir before serving.
