Easter meal?

[Guest guest]

What is everyone making for Easter?

 

I am thinking of making asparagus and pine nut risotto if I can pull it off with

my toddler (my pressure cooker broke and I haven't relaced it yet, so the

stirring is a big pain!).

 

So if I decide that risotto is too much, I am looking for other main dish ideas.

 

Thanks,

 

Jen

Hi Jen,

What is your recipe for this and how do you do it in a pressure cooker? Sounds

good.

You can make any risotto in a pressure cooker. You eliminate the protracted

stock-ladling completely. You just add all of the stock to the rice at once,

close the pressure cooker, bring it up to the appropriate pressure, and then it

is done or almost done in about seven minutes. Then you can let it cook longer

with the top off, add cheese and herbs or whatever, and finish.

 

I highly recommend the cookbook, Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure by Lorna

Sass. I used to be afraid of pressure cookers and never even considered that I

might ever use one until I met a vegetarian couple who showed me the light.

Then, I bought a scratch and dent pressure cooker from William Sonoma and went

to town with it. Unfortunately, I accidentally put the PC in the dishwasher and

ruined it and have been too cheap to replace it since. I could live on risotto

but hate the tedious stirring, so I should just buy a pressure cooker and be

done with it.

 

The asparagus and pine nut risotto recipe is from Babe's Country Cookbook (which

is vegetarian), by Dewey Gram. It is based on the movie, Babe. I will try to

type it in soon.

 

Funny story...James Cromwell, who was the farmer in Babe, became a vegetarian as

a result of his experiences in filming that movie.

I have always heard that virtue ought be its own reward,

But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword.

It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way.

You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away.
