Asian beans, barley, and bok choy

From: Pressured Cook (reviewed 9th April 2012)

This stew is incredibly good. I make it often since it uses adzuki beans, which do not need to soak prior to pressure cooking. The shiitake mushrooms help to create a rich, umami broth.

One suggestion - the beans usually need more time than called for. I usually cook for 22 minutes (vs. the 18 minutes specified) prior to releasing the pressure. This cooks the carrots a bit longer, but I don't mind.

Black bean chili with squash and corn

From: Pressured Cook (reviewed 9th April 2012)

For black bean chili, this one is fancy. I like basic black bean chili but sometimes a change is good. The squash is a welcome addition, although I sometimes omit it (saves time by not needing two periods under pressure). I have always made this with vegetable broth only.
