 Spicy Red Beans With Fennel Seed

Ingredients

• 2 cups dry kidney beans
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seed
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• freshly ground mixed peppercorns to taste

Directions

1. Place beans into a pressure cooker and fill with enough water to cover the beans by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and cool for 1 hour.
2. Add water to the beans again, filling just enough to cover the beans by 1/2 inch. Season with salt, fennel seed, cayenne pepper and mixed peppercorns. Put the lid on and set the pressure to high, or 15 pounds depending on your indicator. Bring to a boil and cook for 35 minutes. Release the pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions before attempting to open the pot. Do not open right away. Serve hot.
