It seems that normal everday appliances become something else in this household. It is hard to explain to the fuzzy little wanderers. I try but usually to no avail.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
I usually make my various stuffed peppers and stuffed cabbages in the crockpot but today I am short on time so trying the electric pressure cooker.
On looking inside.
Helpfully, most of the herbs for discarding have floated to the surface. It's worth counting your stalks of herbs and bay leaves when you put them in so you know what to remove later.
This is stew; add more liquid at the start if you want soup.
The Turkey Bones have been in the freezer since Thanksgiving and today I used them all with some veggies and made Bone Broth in my Instant Pot. I just made a big batch of Turkey & Rice Soup using the broth! It tastes so yummy! Nothing like soup from scratch!
I got this parsley from my herb garden yesterday! It's rare to have it still growing in the garden in December!
This is a new twist on a classic comfort food. Chili is perfect on cold days and can be made quickly and easily in an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker.

ODC-Italy
Decided to try out my new Instant Pot again and today I made Italian Mushrooms and Rice. This appliance doesn't come with a clear lid but I found an old one in the cupboard that fit on just like a glove. I am loving this new toy!
These ribs are fall off the bone and delicious! Because they're steamed in the instant Pot, they're ready in half the time and perfect for weekdays!

Apple cabbage stew.
Apples, cabbage, kumara, red lentils, red onions, sultanas, garlic, canned tomatoes, herbs, spices, stock.
Saute and cook under pressure for 25 minutes.
Now add chopped cabbage. I had a Savoy cabbage, so in it goes.
Replace the lid and cook under pressure for 10 minutes. Leave to release pressure naturally.
This delicious rich Italian dish gets a speed boost in the Instant Pot without compromising flavour. Don't forget the crusty bread... So tasty!

In pressure cooking mode, pressure builds up and this red telltale becomes visible, locking the lid in place until the pressure is released.
Steam can be released manually and it escapes here. It comes out under considerable pressure. Best to open the window when doing this!
Roast Beef in the Instant Pot...The roast is browned in the pot. Put in seasonings add beef broth and cook. Remove beef add carrots and potatoes. Cook for a short time. Remove vegetables and lastly thicken gravy....ENJOY
Cascade, CO - This year for Thanksgiving we met up with some friends at their cabin. This is one of our hosts Cassy; she's funny, sarcastic, caring, adventurous, loves heavy metal, has hiked the entire Pacific Crest Trail and cooks a mean turkey. She and her husband are also dear friends of ours.
The world needs more people like Cassy.
My books-to-read stack isn't shrinking but I just like to make soup. And the kitchen smells magical again.
Cooking takes me back to a good time with a wonderful person. I can't help myself.
Just over 2 l yield from this mixture. It's thick and definitely a stew rather than soup. It could be frozen, or just stored in the fridge and used over the next few days.
...black turtle beans, white navy beans, and brown rice combine in a hearty, inexpensive soup that's a great source of fiber and high-quality protein.
[I wrote this sentence specifically to annoy myself. - ed.]
4 c. water
1/2 c. black beans
1/2 c. navy beans
1/2 c. brown rice
1/2 white onion
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped or minced
2 Bay leaves
2 whole cloves
4 chile pequins, crushed
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried cilantro
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1 tsp. cider vinegar
1+ Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp. pepper
Pressure cook on Bean/Chili for 30 minutes. Natural release.
Remove cloves, onion pieces, and bay leaves. Set aside 1 c. of solids, and puree the rest of the soup with an immersion or counter top blender.
Return solids, stir well, adjust seasonings, and serve garnished with diced avocado (or guacamole) and crumbled cotija or feta cheese.

No work on Friday but I missed making soup. Here's my version of a soffritto, just not so finely diced as I see in the books.
The sauté setting on my Instant Pot is quite fierce; it's essential to keep things moving.
...I had some white beans I needed to use up. Got online and looked up recipes, as you do, and that famous ol' Senate Bean Soup recipe came up again.
As I recently discovered the trick of using facon in pressure cooker bean recipes calling for ham or bacon, I thought, "What the hell. Let's try it and see what happens."
This soup is really good considering how terribly simple it is. There are versions calling for garlic, mashed potatoes, parsley, and more, but I went with the simplest version.
Senate Bean Soup
the vegetarian pressure cooker version
1-1/2 c. navy beans, picked through
4 c. water
1 tsp. salt
2 or 3 Morningstar Farms breakfast strips (or, I suppose, if you have it, some smoke flavoring would work instead)
Place in pressure cooker and cook at high pressure for 35 minutes. Quick release. Fish out the facon strips and throw them away.
In a sauce pan, sautee until soft and translucent:
1/2 medium white onion, diced
2 Tbsp. butter
Pour the onions and butter into the soup. Add:
1/2 tsp. thyme
black pepper to taste
Stir and serve!
