Preparation

Step 1

Soak the red beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse well

In a pressure cooker, heat the olive oil and bacon drippings. Add the
garlic, onion, green onions, bell pepper, celery and parsley. Saute
for about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, including
the drained red beans. Add enough water to cover the beans by at
least 1 inch. Pressure cook for 25 minutes. Uncover and continue to
cook for about 15 minutes to thicken.
