Yesterday I got to wanting some red beans and rice. So I went to a local butcher and got a couple of links of house-made andouille and beautiful smoked ham hock. Found some small red dry beans at the grocery store along with broth, etc.
I started at 10:15 this morning and they are already done. I cooked them in my Ninja Foodi. Cut the sausage into rings and put a quick sear on them. Let the hock go for a while, as well. Put the meat on a plave. Diced up onion, green pepper, and celery and sauteed for a few minutes. Added 3 cloves of chopped garlic and Creole seasoning. Put the hock back in along with the dried beans 1 quart of low sodium stock, 3 cups of water, some crushed red, and 2 bay leaves. Pressure cooked for 15 minutes. Released the steam. Added the andouille and pressure cooked for another 20 minutes and let the pressure release naturally.
Letting them cool down a bit before I dive in. Took about 2 hours start to finish.
