Tonight I cooked two dishes in the pressure cooker: brown rice risotto and lemon garlic marinated chicken breasts.
The rice dish was unbelievably delicious--the recipe called it risotto, which I didn't believe could be done in a pressure cooker. It's not Italian bistro perfect risotto, but it's darned close! And I used medium grain brown rice, not a short white grain like arborio. It's absolutely mind boggling how delicious this rice is!
The chicken breasts were moist and succulent. First you saute the chicken in a small amount of an oil and butter mixture. Then remove the chicken and saute onion ring in the remaining fats. Then lay the chicken breasts on top of the onion. Pour in equal parts marinade, white wine, and stock (chicken or vegetable) and a couple of tablespoons of brandy or cognac. Cook in the pressure cooker for about 15 minutes. That's it!
I put these two dishes in a meal container and sauteed some asparagus. One whole meal is prepared for mom.
