Kairos guy, feel free to add it to the cookbook. This is for Davey's Mommy, who is afraid of her new pressure cooker. It is also a great lent recipe.
2 Tbs butter, 1 Tbs oil and a couple mashed cloves of garlic. put in bottom of pressure cooker, turn heat on to high. throw in 1 1/2 cups arborio rice (may use short grain white or brown rice, or pearl barley instead). saute grains in oil until coated and starting to toast.
Take one envelope dry vegetable soup mix (knorr or lipton) and sprinkle over top of grains. Pour over all a mix of 1 cup white wine, 2 1/2 cups water, and bring to boil. Fasten lid on pressure cooker. Bring up to pressure (15 lbs) and cook at that pressure for 6 minutes (white or arborio rice) or 18 minutes (barley or brown rice). Reduce pressure with a quick release method. Remove lid, and stir in 1 1/2 c grated cheese of your choice (I like a mixture of swiss and parmesan, but anything really goes). Serve and enjoy.
Another one - for people tring to figure out how to add flaxseed to the diet! Flax/fruit bars.
3/4 cup fruit juice
1 -2 cups dried fruit
1 cup ground flaxseed
put dried fruit in juice, bring to simmer and let fruit soften. Put into food processor with flaxseed meal, and mix into a soft dough. Press into a 9x9 cake pan (may need to use your wet hands). cut into 8 pieces, and refrigerate until ready to eat. Keeps 2 - 3 days.
