Have just bought a small pressure cooker (2.7 ltr ) and need a book with basic simple easy meals in it.Have trawled the net but all seem to be complicated books.Any ideas?

Generally for vegetables we give them 7 Mins when up to pressure (cut your potatoes up) for meat anything from 30 mins to an hour makes cheap joints moist and tender. just chuck some stuff in and give it a try if its not quite done bring it up to pressure again.

Cabbage Stew [ Cabbage Brod],
Sounds awful but delicious, A south african dish, in the Pressure Cooker fry some Lamb , cheaper cuts are best ie, neck, belly, fatty chops etc, fry away till it slightly burns, drain off the residual fat, add onions and garlic to the PC and fry, Add a layer of chopped cabbage and a layer of sliced Potato, about half inch thick, sprinkle some nutmeg powder or grind a nutmeg over this, add a few dried chillies, salt and pepper,add some water about a cup full, repeat the layering and seasoning till P C is full, add a little more water , close the PC and cook for 15 --20 minutes with the pressure weigh turning slowly.Meanwhile slurp a glass of wine and cook some Rice, boil in the bag is easiest , especially as you have probably had another glass of wine,also mix a gravy mix in a jug of hot water, oxo cube and gravy powder, when time is up for P C , open it when safe ,add the gravy mix and heat till hot enough, serve in a warmed bowl over some rice, it will look rather nasty but it is so delicious , enjoy.This dish improves with age so next day it will taste even better, we rarely have any left for next day as we tend to eat it straight away, bet you do too.

Good point . Basic rule , for me , when cooking meat in pressure cookers only use meats and cuts which require slow cooking . Personally would not cook chicken , fish etc . Scrag end of everything else

Cheap cuts of Lamb are best for the Cabbage Stew but cooking good Chicken beef or Lamb in a pressure cooker is fine also.
