PRESSURE-COOKER CAJUN PORK AND RICE
I created this recipe after returning home from a trip and finding little food in the house. I used ingredients already available in the refrigerator and pantry. My husband loves this pork dish because it's tasty, and I love it because it's easy. -Allison Gapinski, Cary, North Carolina
