Stuffed Zucchini with spiced beef or lamb from Zaitoun

When it is zucchini time, it can be difficult to find something interesting. But this was both different and a total delight! Zucchini are scraped out and roasted. The "meat" from within the zucchini... read more >

This is an easy pressure-cooker based beef broth. I needed broth for Achiote Rice Supper with Pork Carnitas, and couldn't bring myself to buying canned. I used a small package of sliced beef shanks - with bone and marrow. This recipe includes standard vegetable, and cooks in the pressure cooker for almost an hour. It had good flavor, and other than an initial browning, this was easy.

Hoppin' John

My family loves hoppin john, and we could eat it every week. I'm trying different recipes to find the one we like the best.

This is a very good recipe. It uses a ham hock (which were finally in my local store), onions, celery, green pepper, and at the end, a sprinkle of green onions. We compared this to our standard (Joy of Cooking, see other review). But instead of my usual modifications, I followed this recipe, with the exception of using the pressure cooker to get the beans cooked.

Kids didn't like this as well as my usual. I think it might be the addition of carrots that I usually do. Not traditional, but it adds some sweetness.

I really liked the green onions on the top!
