Cajun Red Beans And Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. dry kidney beans, soaked and drained
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 (16 oz.) can tomatoes, chopped with juice
1/4 to 1/2 lb. turkey smoked sausage or Polska kielbasa, sliced
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
1/2 c. chopped bell pepper
salt and pepper to taste
bay leaf to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
celery seed to taste
chili powder to taste
3 c. cooked white rice

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except rice in pressure cooker with a half tablespoon of bacon drippings.
Add enough water to form a thin gravy (so the beans have adequate liquid to expand) and cook at pressure 15 for 25 minutes.
The flavor gets better if it can sit for a while before serving (and is even better the next day). Serve over steaming rice with corn relish or chow-chow for a genuine Cajun experience!
