Old-Fashion Baked Beans
Serves 4

Old-fashioned baked beans were a traditional weekend dish on the east coast of Canada and the U.S.  Sometimes called Boston baked beans with the addition of pork.  In recent years due to people's active lifestyles, it has fallen out of favour because of the traditionally long baking time (about 7 hours).  Fagor new generation pressure cookers now make it easy and fast, cutting the cooking time down to 40 minutes.

2 cups (500 ml) dry navy beans
     (also called white beans or pea beans)
3 tablespoons (45 ml) canola oil
1 large onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 3/4 cups (400 ml) water
2 fl oz (80 ml or 1/2 small can) tomato paste
3 tablespoons (45 ml) brown sugar
2 tablespoons (30 ml) molasses
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) prepared mustard
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) cumin
1/8 teaspoon (0.5 ml) chili powder

Pressure Cooker Recipes
Directions:

Rinse and then soak the beans in water for about 8 hours.  You can start soaking them in the morning before work so they will be ready to cook at suppertime.  Drain the soaking water after the beans are hydrated.  Add all ingredients except the beans to the new generation pressure cooker.  Stir.  Then add the beans.  Bring beans to a boil.  Stir and then lock the lid on the new generation pressure cooker.  Allow pressure to drop by the quick release method [2] or automatic release method [3] and remove the lid.  Serve with whole wheat bread.

Suggested time for fast 15 psi pressure cookers:  Cook for 40 minutes on high pressure.

The word is out—beans are among the most nutritious foods you can eat, and now you make them in record time.  Here is an appealing, hearty and healthy winter bean stew, beautifully complimented by sautéed cabbage.  You can use the same basic recipe for white beans and chickpeas.

2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
1 cup (250 ml) finely chopped onion
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons (10 ml) paprika
1 lb (450 g) dried red beans, such as
    red kidney beans

    or chorizo) (optional)
Salt, to taste

Cabbage

3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small head cabbage, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Pressure Cooker Recipes
Directions:

Rinse and then soak the beans in water overnight.  Drain.

Heat the oil in the pressure cooker and sauté the onion and garlic slowly until the onion is wilted.  Stir in the paprika.  Remove from the pressure cooker and set aside.

Combine the beans in the pressure cooker with 6 cups (1.4 l) water, onion halves, carrot, leek, bacon and sausage.  Lock the lid in place and bring to pressure, then lower heat and cook for 15 minutes.  Allow pressure to drop by the quick release method [2] or automatic release method [3] and remove the lid.  Add the reserved sautéed onion and garlic, salt to taste.  Lock the lid in place and bring to pressure again, then lower heat and cook for 20 minutes.

While beans finish cooking, prepare the cabbage in a skillet.  Heat the oil, add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is wilted.  Add the cabbage, salt and pepper to taste and stir fry about 10 minutes.  Cover and continue cooking to taste.

Once the cooking time for the beans has elapsed, allow pressure to drop by the quick release method [2] or automatic release method [3] and remove the lid.  Serve the beans in soup bowls with a generous dollop of the cabbage in each bowl and accompanied by crusty bread.

Suggested time for fast 15 psi pressure cookers:  Cook for 15+20 minutes on high pressure.

Indian Curry
Serves 4

This is a low-fat flavourful Indian curry with coconut quinoa.  It is super fast when made with a pressure cooker.

1 pinch saffron threads
2 cups (500 ml) warm water
1 cup (250 ml) quinoa
1 cup (250 ml) pressure-cooked chickpeas
    (or from a can, drained)
1/2 cup (125 ml) raisins
1 teaspoon (5 ml) coconut extract
1 small eggplant, cubed
1 small squash (acorn or butternut), cubed
1 small sweet potato, cubed
1/2 cup (125 ml) green beans
1/2 cup (125 ml) onions, diced
1/2 hot pepper, sliced
1 - 5 oz can (150 ml) fat-free evaporated milk
1 teaspoon (5 ml) cumin seeds
1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter
2/3 teaspoon (3-4 ml) hot Madras curry powder
1/3 teaspoon (1-2 ml) curry powder
1/3 teaspoon (1-2 ml) garam masala

Pressure Cooker Recipes
Directions:

Place saffron threads in 2 cups (500 ml) warm water, and let soak.  Place the quinoa, chickpeas, raisins, coconut extract, and saffron water into the bottom of your pressure cooker.  Cut up all the vegetables and place them in a steamer basket above the quinoa mixture (place a trivet in the quinoa mixture and the steamer basket on the trivet).  Place the squash and sweet potato into the basket first, then the pepper, eggplant and beans.

Lock the lid in place and bring to pressure, then lower heat and cook for suggested time.  While vegetables are cooking, melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan, and sauté cumin seeds for about 2 or 3 minutes.  Add onions and sauté until soft.  Add evaporated milk and remaining spices and simmer for about 10 minutes (until slightly thickened).

Once vegetables are cooked, allow pressure to drop by the quick release method [2] or automatic release method [3] and remove the lid.  Remove the vegetables from the steamer basket and place them in a large serving bowl.  Pour the curry sauce over them and toss.  Fluff quinoa in the bottom of the pressure cooker.  If it is too watery, resume heating until desired consistency.  Serve curry spooned over quinoa in bowls and enjoy with naan or pitas.

Suggested time for fast 15 psi pressure cookers:  Cook for 5-6 minutes on high pressure.

Notes:

1Natural Release Method.  To use this method, remove the pressure cooker from the hot burner and let the pressure drop by cooling down naturally.

2Quick Release Method.  Also called the cold-water release method, is used to release pressure quickly.  To use this method, remove the pressure cooker from the burner, place in the sink and run cold tap water gently over the lid until steam dissipates and the pressure indicator is lowered.  When putting the pressure cooker in the sink, tilt the handle up so the water flows away from you.

3Automatic Release Method.  Turn the pressure selector dial on the lid to the release position and the steam will release.
