Pressure Cooker #3

By -



Guess who cooked rice in their pressure cooker? I needed it quick 'cause the adobo had been cooked and all guys were hungry. Check it out -- and I didn't burn it this time! 3 minutes under pressure, maybe 1-1/2 min. to get to pressure then maybe 2 min. for natural release. I was totally impressed! Are you?

    Wait, wait, wait... am I seeing right? did you use BOTH pots? The smaller one for adobo, the larger one for rice? and the student surpasses the master...I am impressed grasshopper. I've always been too scared to cook rice because I was afraid of burning it. Did you pressure cook the adobo too? wow. looks delicious. what else are you going to cook? you should pressure cook jayne the chicken.

    why would i want to pressure cook jayne? crazy! no, i did not pressure cook the adobo. remember, when we discussed you said the cooking down might be a problem. i didn't want to risk it. no i did not use the little one to pressure cook just to use the pan which i love. sometimes the most handy camera is the little one. will use the bigger one during the holidays.

    You are right Ats, the smaller pot is a good cooking put. I like how it holds the heat and has those nice high sides, compared to my other saute pans. I'm going to use it more. Arborio rice is what you use for risotto. I bought it special to make risotto, but haven't yet. I don't even know what risotto taste like. Do you?

Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 cups quinoa 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon parsley flakes In large fry pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and quinoa. Saute until the quinoa starts to brown and the onion becomes clear. Add chicken broth and parsley flakes and bring to a slight boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook for 12 minutes, covered, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, recover and allow to steam for another 10 – 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve. This recipe is from Goodcheapeats.com a great resource for once a month freezer cooking and menu planning Mondays. Also, I added chopped carrots to the recipe when sauteeing the onion and quinoa just to add a little color to the dish and to get some veggies in. Recipe from: www.goodcheapeats.com

Here's Aunt Mary's Wedding Soup recipe that was so delicious! WEDDING SOUP 2 boneless chicken breasts 2 large cans college inn chicken broth 1 pkg. chopped spinach (thawed & drained) 3 cups water 1 carrot 2 eggs 1/3 cup parmesan cheese Bring water boil; add chicken. Grate carrot into boiling water. After 10-15 minutes remove chicken. Cool, then dice. Add College Inn broth; bring to a boil and reduce heat. Beat 2 eggs, add Parmesan cheese to eggs and blend. Drop egg mixture into broth, stirring through with fork. Add drained spinach, meatballs, diced chicken. Simmer for 15 minutes Of course you can make your own chicken stock, but I just used the canned broth but I did use the lowfat, low sodium one. Also, the drier you get the spinach the less green the soup broth gets. MEATBALLS 1/2 lb. ground beef 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs 1 egg (blend above and roll into dime size meatballs) I cooked my meatballs before putting them into soup

Chicken Carbonara Alfredo with Broccoli

By -
I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.
