Pressure Cooker Lentils

This was unexpectedly well liked.

Even my fiancé thought he’d give the Mr. Yuck face to this… but he didn’t.

To be honest, I only made this because I have this rad pressure cooker from Breville and I try to find reasons to use it. Regardless of recipe, whether it sounds good or bad, if it requires a pressure cooker, I gleefully save it so I can whip out that bad boy and press “Power”.

So when these pressure cooker lentils appeared on my browser, I thought, “YES!”

My fiancé wished I would just make your everyday Mexican beans and rice dish–he was strongly opposed to including onions and celery to this, feeling that such things are anathema to his taste buds. I told him to suck it up and expand his horizons. I’m such a doll to live with.

Of course, he was glad I made it, because despite his aversion to onions and celery, he will even admit that they added to the dish more than they took away. It was flavorful and best of all–not mushy! It particularly appeased my beloved when he came to the conclusion that this was his beans and rice–just done in a more middle eastern style! (FYI, we did serve it over a bed of rice.)
