Instruction

  • Pressure cooking method: Turn pressure cooker on high and let it heat up, or press the saute function and let it heat for at least 3-4 minutes.
  • Then, cook bacon for about 2-3 minutes or until enough to release the fat. Add sausage and let it cook for about 3 minutes, stirring every now and then. Add onion and bell peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Do not let it brown!
  • Stir in rice, seasonings, and broth. Put lid on and close steam valve. Depending on your pressure cooker settings: Either cancel the saute function and press the rice function (it automatically sets the time, about 10 minutes) , or set to high pressure on manual and set for 3 minutes.
  • Let pressure release naturally. Then, remove lid and stir in beans, corn, lime juice, tomatoes, and parsley. Serve and enjoy
  • Stovetop method: Heat one large no stick pan over medium-high heat, add bacon and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes or until enough to release fat. Add sausage and cook for 3 minutes, stirring now and then.
