Vegetable rich beef ragu

Beef, Kids, Pasta and Risotto, Pressure Cooker 3 Replies

I’ve confessed before about my vegetable smuggling ways. Not all my sons happily munch on crudités in front of the TV so I have a habit of adding extra veg to dinner time offerings. This is a delicious vegetable rich beef ragu which is cooked in just 25 minutes in a pressure cooker but tastes like it’s had 3 hours bubbling away on the stove. So essentially a dinner that makes you look like you’ve given more effort than you have – that’s my kind of dish. (Details of how to cook on the stove too below). READ MORE

Chicken and spinach curry

Curries and Stews, Chicken, More, Pressure Cooker Comments Off

Here I am again with a curry recipe. This time it’s a chicken and spinach curry. I don’t pretend that any of my curries are authentic in any way, they are my very Holly-style interpretation of curry. A childhood spent growing up in Leicester, eating the odd biryani and then frankly OD-ing in my teens and twenties. I do love a curry and this chicken and spinach curry is one of my favourites. It’s easy, which is just the way I like my cooking to be. READ MORE

Chorizo and chickpea stew

Pressure Cooker, Curries and Stews, Pork Comments Off

Good evening to you on this fine Thursday of the summer holidays. Two observations today. One being that I am raising a gaggle of boys for whom watching an animated Giant steal a small orphaned child and then catch dreams together falls just short of keeping their attention. I blame Pixar. READ MORE

Finger licking spiced ribs

More, Pork, Pressure Cooker Comments Off

I hated staying in alone when I was single. It felt like a silent admission of defeat. I’d pace and distract myself with organising and tidying. I was never comfortable alone. READ MORE

Beef rogan josh

Beef, Curries and Stews Comments Off

Pressure cookers eh? What do you make of them? Up until this summer I’d always been slightly scared of them; the hissing sound, the old scare stories of exploding pans from the 60’s, the locking of the pan… They were not for me.

Then in July I got the chance to use one. Except it wasn’t any old pressure cooker, it was one that plugs in, rather than sits on your stove top, and is was all whizzy and had different buttons for different foods. I set to work to have a play and this beef rogan josh was just one of the recipes that sprung out of the Pressure King Pro by the end of the day. READ MORE
