Grace Under Pressure:\u00c2\u00a0 A Vegan Single-Pot meal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soak 1 pound dry beans 8 hours or so, any kind of beans\u00e2\u20ac\u201dchickpeas, pintos, black, red, cranberry, great northern, navy, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 Rinse and put in pressure cooker.\u00c2\u00a0 I use a 4-Qt. stainless steel Presto.\u00c2\u00a0 If you love beans, a pressure cooker will save hours of your cooking life.<\/p>\n

Add a 15 oz. can of cooked diced tomatoes, juice included.\u00c2\u00a0 I use no-salt organic Muir Glen.\u00c2\u00a0 You may use Rotel or similar or add your own diced peppers.\u00c2\u00a0 I use a lot of jalape\u00c3\u00b1os and roasted red peppers.<\/p>\n

Add three cups liquid.\u00c2\u00a0 This can be water, broth, a mix of water with some soymilk or coffee or fruit juice or whatever suits your beans and spices and imagination.\u00c2\u00a0 A little low-sodium tamari, liquid smoke, your favorite hot sauce.<\/p>\n

Add spices.\u00c2\u00a0 Go ahead.\u00c2\u00a0 Stir them in.\u00c2\u00a0 You can use chili powders, curry powders, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 2+ tablespoons to taste.\u00c2\u00a0 You’ll have the chance to adjust the spices.<\/p>\n

Add crushed cloves of garlic, lemon zest, fresh ginger, etc.<\/p>\n

Chop up 12-16 ounces of greens\u00e2\u20ac\u201dspinach, collard, kale\u00e2\u20ac\u201dor use a bag of frozen (no thawing necessary).\u00c2\u00a0 Pack the chopped greens on top of the bean and liquid mixture.<\/p>\n

Peel and cut an onion (I prefer red, but any kind is fine) and cut it into eighths, so that you make onion “shingles” to lay over the top of everything.\u00c2\u00a0 The arrangement is important because it keeps anything from flying up and blocking the vents on the pressure cooker.<\/p>\n

Bring to pressure and allow to cook for 18 minutes, and let pressure fall of its own accord.<\/p>\n

When you open the pressure cooker, adjust liquid and spices, cooking a little to allow to thicken.\u00c2\u00a0 Serve with brown rice or quinoa or by itself.<\/p>\n

If the beans aren’t cooked after 18 minutes, close it up and cook a few more minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Time and liquid amounts can vary with equipment and beans, etc.<\/p>\n

It’s even better the second day.\u00c2\u00a0 Divine on the third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
