What are the benefits of using a pressure cooker?

Pressure cooking is a method of cooking food in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure.

Pressure cookers are used for quick and healthy cooking by reducing the time it takes for water to boil. It also helps preserve vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in the food.

Pressure cookers can be used for many types of foods including beans, rice, pasta, vegetables, and meat.

What are the disadvantages of using a pressure cooker?

Pressure cookers are a great invention that can save time and energy. They can also be used for cooking a wide variety of foods. However, there are some disadvantages to using pressure cookers as well.

1) If the pot is not cleaned properly, the food can get stuck to it and harden over time, making it difficult to clean without damaging the pot.

2) The steam from the pot may cause burns if you do not keep your hands away from it or use oven mitts when removing the lid.

3) Pressure cookers may not be safe for certain types of foods such as eggs, which may crack and create bacteria when cooked at high temperatures.

How can I make these meatballs healthier?

If you are looking for a healthier alternative to meatballs, you can try making these vegetarian meatballs. They are made from chickpeas and they taste just as good as regular meatballs.

1. The first step is to soak the chickpeas in water overnight. This will soften them and make them easier to cook.

2. Drain the chickpeas, add them to a food processor with chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley, and pulse until they form a paste-like consistency that is not too smooth or chunky.

3. Add the mixture into a bowl and stir in breadcrumbs until it becomes sticky but not too dry or wet.

4. Form small balls with your hands and place them on an oiled baking

Ingredients

  • For Tomato basil sauce:
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 2 (28 oz (840 ml) each) cans plum tomatoes, undrained and crushed by hand
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) dry red wine
  • 3 sprigs fresh basil
  • 2 pinches dried italian seasoning blend
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • For Meatballs:
  • 2 cups cubed dried crustless white bread
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 ½ pounds (720 g) ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 3 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup raisins, soaked in 1/3 cup (80 ml) Marsala

Method

Step 1

To make Tomato Basil Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker turned to the sauté mode. Add smashed garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add crushed tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, dry red wine, basil, and Italian seasoning. Simmer, uncovered, while you make meatballs.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cubed bread and water. Soak for 5 minutes. If the bread is too wet, squeeze it out. Add ground beef, garlic, beaten eggs, cheese, parsley, and drained raisins. Using hands, blend the beef mixture. Form into 2-inch (5 cm) meatballs.

Step 3

Drop beef meatballs into the simmering sauce.

Step 4

Close the pot and lock the lid. Set the machine to cook at high pressure. Set the timer to cook for 8 minutes.

Step 5

Using the natural Release method, bring pressure to normal. Carefully unlock and open the lid. Set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Discard basil sprigs. Season sauce with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Remove cooked meatballs, using a slotted spoon. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve meatballs with tomato basil sauce spooned over. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
