Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 package Andouille Smoked Sausage brand: Zatarain's
  • 1 box Spanish rice brand: Zatarain's
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ounce diced fire roasted tomatoes canned
  • 1 tablespoon lemon about ¼ of a lemon, fresh-squeezed juice
  • ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 ¼ cups water

Instructions

  1. Set pressure cooker to SAUTE. Melt butter in the pot.
  2. Add sausage and saute 2-3 minutes until edges begin to brown.
  3. Stir in the rice for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in tomatoes, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, broth, and water.
  5. Cover with lid, turn vent valve to SEALED position. Set to MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK for 8 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
