Pressure-Cooker Cajun Pork and Rice image

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

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of cayenne pepper.

I made this dish in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just browned the pork in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.

This recipe is a great way to introduce kids to Cajun food. The flavors are mild enough for them to enjoy, but it still has a little bit of a kick.
