Equipment Pressure cooker Immersion blender (optional but makes things easier) Notes on pressure cooking The listed time to pressure cook something only starts counting from the moment pressure is achieved With an Instant Pot use high pressure, and make sure you turn the release valve to sealing instead of venting Ingredients Beans 3 cups beans (1 lb), unsoaked 9 cups water (3x cups beans) Seasoning 1 medium onion, diced small 3 cloves garlic, crushed olive oil, to taste salt, to taste 3/4 lb tomatoes, diced small Instructions Wash the beans, removing any rocks or particularly disfigured beans Combine beans and water in pressure cooker and pressure cook for 50 minutes While the beans are cooking, start the seasoning: Saute the onions until translucent, then add the garlic and saute another minute Add the tomatoes and salt and continue sauteing until the mixture has the consistency of a sauce, then set it aside Once the beans have finished pressure cooking, let them sit for 15 minutes to naturally release some of the pressure, then use whatever quick release method is safe to let off remaining pressure In a bowl (a liquid measuring cup works well for this) combine the seasoning and a few ladles of beans/bean broth Mix with the immersion blender, or sort of smash things with a wooden spoon if you don’t have one, then pour back into the rest of the beans Taste and adjust salt if necessary Bonus Serve some of the bean broth in shot glasses while it’s still hot.

Notes This recipe calls for chicken breast, but it can also be made with boneless skinless chicken thigh. Cooking the chicken breast can be a little tricky, and will end up a bit dry if you do it wrong. Chicken thigh is more forgiving.

Notes This is my absolute favorite recipe and a staple of my diet. I’ve made it my own over the years; feel free to do the same! The original recipe called for peeling the tomatoes, and left everything to marinate for an hour before the garlic was removed. I’ve removed these steps, but the order of operations in this recipe is designed to allow for maximum marination. However, these are guidelines, not rules–nothing will be ruined if your prep timing lines up differently than the recipe calls for.

Equipment Pressure cooker Immersion blender (optional but makes things easier) Notes on pressure cooking The listed time to pressure cook something only starts counting from the moment pressure is achieved With an Instant Pot use high pressure, and make sure you turn the release valve to sealing instead of venting Ingredients Beans 3 cups beans (1 lb), unsoaked 9 cups water (3x cups beans) Seasoning 1 medium onion, diced small 3 cloves garlic, crushed olive oil, to taste salt, to taste 3/4 lb tomatoes, diced small Instructions Wash the beans, removing any rocks or particularly disfigured beans Combine beans and water in pressure cooker and pressure cook for 50 minutes While the beans are cooking, start the seasoning: Saute the onions until translucent, then add the garlic and saute another minute Add the tomatoes and salt and continue sauteing until the mixture has the consistency of a sauce, then set it aside Once the beans have finished pressure cooking, let them sit for 15 minutes to naturally release some of the pressure, then use whatever quick release method is safe to let off remaining pressure In a bowl (a liquid measuring cup works well for this) combine the seasoning and a few ladles of beans/bean broth Mix with the immersion blender, or sort of smash things with a wooden spoon if you don’t have one, then pour back into the rest of the beans Taste and adjust salt if necessary Bonus Serve some of the bean broth in shot glasses while it’s still hot.

Notes This recipe calls for chicken breast, but it can also be made with boneless skinless chicken thigh. Cooking the chicken breast can be a little tricky, and will end up a bit dry if you do it wrong. Chicken thigh is more forgiving. Ingredients 2 lbs chicken breast 1 Tbsp dried oregano Salt to taste (maybe 2 tsp?) 2 large or 4 medium cloves garlic, crushed Olive oil Instructions Into a large bowl, peel and crush the garlic.

Notes I have no desire to specify amounts. Let your heart be your guiding key. Ingredients Tomatoes, medium dice Bell peppers, short strips Cucumber, peeled and diced Onion, minced Kalamata olives, sliced lengthwise Feta (either crumbled, or in small dice) Dried oregano Olive oil Salt, to taste (the feta and olives have salt, but you’ll still need a bit for the tomatoes/crosswords) Instructions Mix it all together and eat. Okay fine if I were doing it I’d probably start with the olive oil, oregano, salt, onion, and tomato, but I don’t think it really matters.

Originally stolen from The Mustard Seed Notes The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month Ingredients 1 cup vegetable oil 2 1/2 Tbsp gingerroot, minced and peeled 1/2 rib celery, chopped 1/2 tsp sugar 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted 1/8 tsp celery seed (optional) Pinch white pepper 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/3 cup distilled white vinegar Instructions Using a blender, combine all ingredients except the soy sauce and vinegar.

Notes This is my absolute favorite recipe and a staple of my diet. I’ve made it my own over the years; feel free to do the same! The original recipe called for peeling the tomatoes, and left everything to marinate for an hour before the garlic was removed. I’ve removed these steps, but the order of operations in this recipe is designed to allow for maximum marination. However, these are guidelines, not rules–nothing will be ruined if your prep timing lines up differently than the recipe calls for.
