11
20
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1
/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 package frozen and defrosted petit peas and pearl onions
1
/2 package frozen French-style green beans
1
/4 cup parsley finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Place all the ingredients except the peas and onions, green beans, parsley and salt and
pepper in the cooker, stir together. Lock the lid in place and set to
High (15 psi) for 20
minutes (go to pages 6-7 for instructions). Let the pressure drop naturally, about 10 to
12 minutes.
The beef should be fork tender. If it is not, don't be afraid to cook it for an additional
five minutes, again letting the pressure drop naturally.
Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer with the lid off for about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can make this recipe in advance and it will
taste even better after the flavors meld overnight.
Fifteen-Minute Turkey Chili
Of course, the pressure cooker is great for cooking dried beans fast, but when you
want to have a meal on the table really fast, using canned beans and prepared
sausage is one of my standby tricks of the trade.

/2 inch rounds and further cut into four pieces

Cleaning the Pressure Regulator Knob
Check that the pressure regulator knob and the pressure safety valves are
in good working order before each use.
1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid.
2. Press down and turn the pressure regulator knob counter clockwise
past the STEAM to the CLEAN setting and carefully remove.
3. Using a brush, check and remove any food or foreign particles
that may be lodged in the floating valve.
4. Replace the pressure regulator knob by lining the notches up to the
inside wall of the pressure regulator chamber in the lid and turn
clockwise.
