A clear winner. Just got back from our annual road trip, which included Louisiana, w/ plenty of gumbo, red beans and rice and Jambalaya. My wife loved this recipe. She doesn't cook but she's a super taster and foodie. The only change I made was releasing the pressure on the cooker about half way thru the cooking cycle and scrapping the bottom to keep the rice from burning on the bottom. Then I repressurized the cooker and let it finish the cooking cycle. Thanks, db4assets. also, because we were a bit busy when the cycle finished, I left it on warm for about an hour. Yummmmm! It's a keeper

<p>I enjoy to cook & my DH enjoys to eat. Neither one of us have serious weight or physical issues but I strive to make my meals healthy. I try to stay away from 'low-fat' & processed foods cause they are usually filled with other undesirable ingredients. I try to stick to natural foods & I grow a garden including several herbs. <br />I make a point of reviewing all recipes I've tried & appreciate the time others take to forward feedback on my recipes.</p>
