[veg_grp]Another PC recipe

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna and anyone else with a pressure cooker,

 

This is another recipe from Lorna Sass that was yummy. If you see her book

anywhere it is worth buying, IMHO anyway

11/2 lbs cabbage

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 cup thinly slice leeks (white and light green parts), or coarsely chopped

onions

1 cup water

1 tablespoon tomato paste (I hate tomato paste so didn't use it)

1lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice ( I misread this and sliced

instead)

2 cups fresh or canned (drained) plum tomatoes

1 1/ 2 teaspoons dried tarragon

1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Remove any tough or bruised out leaves from the cabbage. Cut away the core and

slice as you would for coleslaw. Set aside.

Heat the oil in pressure cooker, and cook leeks (or onion) over medium/high heat

for 1 minute stirring frequently.

Add the water and blend in the tomato paste. Layer, the cabbage, potatoes and

tomato and sprinkle the tarragon and salt (if using) on top..

Lock the lid in place and set pot over heated flamer tamer. Over high heat bring

to high pressure and lover the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and

cook for 3 minutes. Reduce the pressure using quick release method . Remove the

lid (usual safety precautions) and stir well.

If time permits let the dish stand at room temp for 20 minutes - the potatoes

will release starch and thicken the mixture.

Tips : to avoid scorching set the cabbage on the bottom of the cooker and

potatoes on top- do not stir until cooking time is done. If using canned

tomatoes sub the drained juice for the equivalent amount of water and eliminate

the tomato paste.

 

The first time I cooked this my pc did not reach pressure and after awhile(not

sure how long but prob 10 minutes)I figured it must be cooked and it was

absolutely delicious. Also my pc needs minimum of 2 cups of liquid, so I just

added extra water and some powdered vegetable stock.
