We finished dinner a couple of hours ago and I still have the most wonderful favor in my mouth. The kids have already claimed the leftovers for lunch. I am looking forward to making this dish again. All you need is about 20 minutes prep and 7 minutes cooking in pressure cooker. Natural depressurize a little over an hour, just enough time for me to attend a meeting and pick up kids.
