Not so much a recipe as a general idea. I will post a recipe at a later date, when I have finished experimenting.
I had long believed that pears needed to be ripening before you can do anything with them. In fact I just checked a few websites that indicated that to cook pears, they should be ripe.
But I came across a recipe by Delia Smith which indicated that unripened pears could be poached.
This is the latest harvest from the pear tree in my garden.
I already have a dozen pears in the fridge, to facilitate ripening (they will be coming out in a day or two, and going into a paper bag).
This batch is the pick of the large un-fallen fruit, plus a couple of dropped fruit that appeared undamaged (an achievement, as the landing is on gravel or stone). It also meant lopping a couple of branches to get to them – they needed to be lopped anyway, as this tree is *supposed* to grow along my garage, not over it.
My first use of the Instant Pot as a pressure cooker would be to cook a whole chicken.
I’ve cooked many beef stews, so this is nothing new.
But it is my first one in my Instant Pot.
So my delivery from Pasta Evangelists arrived today. Pictures follow.
My first reaction was “where are the cooking instructions?” But each meal is colour coded with a dot, and in the enclosed booklet, full details are given – a lengthy description, ingredients and cooking instructions.
