Notes
For the pressure cooker: For the pressure cooker Follow steps 1 and 2, transferring to pressure cooker (if you brown the meat and vegetables in the pressure cooker pot rather than a non-stick pan, you will need to increase the oil slightly). Seal cooker. Place over high heat until steam escapes at a constant rate. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 45 minutes. Release steam following manufacturer’s instructions. Continue from step 3.
