Kalbi with Pork Country Ribs
I wanted to try making kalbi, but with something a little less fatty than short ribs. I started with this recipe and decided to try it with boneless pork country ribs. Other than that, I left the recipe alone. They came out pretty good. The country ribs are a lot…

Carnitas
This recipe was adapted from the one in David Lebovitz’s The Sweet Life in Paris (this version is similar) for pressure cooker. The book is not explicit about braising with the lid off, like the online version is, and so I assumed it was lid on and would translate easily…

Lemongrass Pho Ga
After the pressure cooker pho experiment, I decided to try making chicken (pho ga) but wanted to try different flavors. This one uses lemongrass in place of ginger but is otherwise similar. The result was not bad but could have used a little more intensity. Also, the lemongrass didn’t really…

Posole
E adapted this recipe to her liking, using canned hominy and adding chicken. It came out great, and we’ve made it about three times already. It can be made with or without the chicken — it’s good vegetarian too. Ingredients Soup 1 28 oz can hominy, drained 1 small white…

Turkey Chili in a Pressure Cooker
I started with this alton brown chili recipe but modified and adapted. It came out pretty good. Hot but not too hot, a fair amount of flavor. The chipotles in adobo add a nice smokiness which I wouldn’t having a little more of. When I first opened the pressure cooker,…

Pho in a Pressure Cooker
The first project for my new chanukkah pressure cooker: pho. I started with this recipe with a few changes. The end result was pretty good. The flavor overall could have been a little more intense, but the balance of beef and spices was about right (in the past I’ve made…

Rosemary Mushroom Chicken
E tires of asianish stir fries long before I do, and my repertoire kind of depends on them heavily, so tonight I decided to do something more frenchy or something. I’m not very skilled with sauce and I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do when I started,…

Red Kidney Bean Curry
This is adapted from Smitten Kitchen. The changes are more because she used inconvenient unit sizes (I had 25oz and 15oz cans of kidney beans, not 30oz, and 14oz of diced tomatoes, not 8oz of tomato sauce) than any big change in the essentials. It came out all right. I…

Deep Brownies
Another variation on the standard “one bowl” brownie recipe. The extra cocoa deepens the chocolate flavor and the small amount of cayenne adds a nice heat but nothing overwhelming. The salt kind of disappeared — next time, I’ll probably use coarser salt, maybe a little more, maybe just sprinkled on…

Chana Masala
We’ve made chana before but I didn’t record the recipe. I made a batch today based on this recipe, doubled, and with half the chickpeas replaced with northern beans (we didn’t have as many chickpeas as I thought). I also left out the cayenne and jalapeno, since I’ve been working…
