Red beans and rice
I got a pressure cooker for my birthday, and my goal is to learn to make red beans and rice. Red beans and rice were one of the favorite dishes of my youth, and I like them in just about any incarnation. It has been a long term goal of mine to be able to make them myself, and now that I've got the pressure cooker it's time to get serious.
The first step is to make decent tasting red beans and rice. The mountaintop is red beans and rice as tasty as the ones from Popeye's fried chicken. First, though, some decent home style red beans and rice. I'm using Chuck Taggart's recipe as a starting point, but I have to modify the recipe some because I'm using a pressure cooker. So I'm going to use the cooking times in the Kuhn Rikon recipe.
We'll see how the first batch turns out. Duplicating the Popeye's recipe is going to be harder. Every attempt I've read about online has started with canned red beans, and there's no way to get there using that approach. I don't believe you can get the flavor you want unless you start with dry beans.
Tomorrow is the first attempt. I'll publish the results as soon as they're available.
