Instructions
- Set pressure cooker to SAUTE. Melt butter in the pot.
- Add sausage and saute 2-3 minutes until edges begin to brown.
- Stir in the rice for 1 minute.
- Stir in tomatoes, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, broth, and water.
- Cover with lid, turn vent valve to SEALED position. Set to MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK for 8 minutes.
- Once cook time is up, natural release (do nothing) for 5 minutes, then turn vent valve to release remaining pressure. Once float valve drops, remove the lid.
- Give everything a good stir to fluff the rice. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- Stovetop method: Saute the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in rice, liquid, and other ingredients. Bring to a boi, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 minutes. Fluff with fork before garnishing and serving.
- The sausage: Zatarain's also makes a Cajun Smoked Sausage which works beautifully in this recipe and has a little bit of a kick to it. If you can handle the heat, swap the regular smoked andouille for the Cajun sausage!
