KEMP'S VEGETARIAN BLACK BEANS - 6-QT PRESSURE COOKER
Entered for safe-keeping, adapted from Gourmet Executive Food Editor Kemp Minifie in April 2007 Gourmet. Kemp Minifie claims that the vegetarian "holy trinity" of flavor is sherry, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Beans improve in flavor if cooked at least 8 hours ahead. Chill, uncovered until completely cooled, then chill covered up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months. Beans thicken a lot as they stand, so thin with water when reheating over moderately low heat. Because these beans are best cooled so they thicken as they stand, some people make a big pot on the stove and designate it for other recipes. So I am giving both the Pressure Cooker directions and the non-pressure directions. The Pressure Cooker takes 1/3 the time. The preparation time does not include chilling time; the cooking time is for the pressure cooker.

Steps:
- PRESSURE COOKER.
- In a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker, combine beans, onion, oil, water and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Seal pressure cooker with lid and cook at high pressure, according to manufacturer's directions, until beans are tender, 30-45 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Use quick release method favored by your manufacturer; Kemp says to put the pressure cooker in the sink (with lid still attached) and run cold water over the lid until pressure goes down completely. (Don't try the cold water method with an electric pressure cooker!)
- Chill uncovered until completely cooled, then chill, covered, up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
- NON-PRESSURE COOKING METHOD.
- In a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot, bring black beans, onion, oil, water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours (depending on age of beans).
- Chill uncovered until completely cooled, then chill, covered, up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
- REHEATING.
- When reheating the beans later, stir in Sherry, 1 teaspoon salt, then soy sauce and vinegar to taste (start with 1 tablespoon each). Thin with water if necessary. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Steps:
- In a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat, pour in 3 tablespoons oil. Add the ham hock and onions and cook until the onions are wilted and the ham hock is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Throw in the garlic and bay leaf and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beans and give a good stir. Pour in the water; add the remaining tablespoon of oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, and a couple of grindings of pepper. Following the manufacturer's instructions, cover, lock the lid, and bring to high pressure. Lower heat to maintain pressure and start timing. Cook at high pressure for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Release the steam, again following the manufacturer's directions. If the beans are underdone, simmer them with the lid off until tender. Remove bay leaf and discard. Pick meat from ham hock and add to beans; discard the bone. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Cook's note: The oil prevents the beans from foaming and clogging the steam vent of the pressure cooker.
KEMP'S BLACK BEANS

Thin to desired consistency with additional water. Stir in Sherry and remaining teaspoon salt, then soy sauce and vinegar to taste (start with 1 tablespoon each), and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.

SL ROAST WITH ONION AND MUSHROOM GRAVY - 6-QT. PRESSURE COOKER
Entered for safe-keeping, adapted from Donna Davidson in November 2000 Southern Living, times are for 15 psi 6-qt. (or larger) stovetop pressure cooker. See notes at the end of directions for necessary changes to prepare in an electric pressure cooker, such as Instant Pot. 5/24/18: I loaded the recipe as I would prepare it in a 6-quart Instant Pot electric pressure cooker; it is available here: http://www.food.com/recipe/sl-roast-with-onion-mushroom-gravy-6-qt-instant-pot-535868

Steps:
- Sprinkle roast evenly with pepper. Place in 6-quart or larger pressure cooker.
- Add mushroom soup, onion soup mix, beef bouillon cubes and 2 cups water.
- Secure lid. Over medium-high heat, bring to HIGH pressure (2nd bar,15 psi). Adjust heat to stabilize just at high pressure. From moment high pressure was reached, cook 20 minutes. (Check recommended cooking time in your manufacturer's manual.).
- Remove from heat and use quick pressure reduction method recommended by your manual. The recipe recommended running cold water over the lower edge of the cooker.
- Remove lid, directing steam away from you.
- Remove roast, and keep warm.
- Stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Add to liquid in pressure cooker. Bring to a boil, then cook for 1 minute.
- Serve gravy with roast.
- -- MODIFICATIONS FOR USING ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER, added May 11, 2018 --.
- DO NOT ADD canned condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup during Step 2. The safety sensors of the new electric pressure cookers will give a "Burn" error if you do. (We'll add the condensed soup after pressure cooking.).
- For an electric pressure cooker, cook at High pressure for 40 minutes.
- DO NOT RUN COLD WATER OVER THE LID of an electric pressure cooker for quick release! Allow pressure to reduce naturally for 12 minutes, then you can do a quick release of remaining pressure.
- Add the Cream of Mushroom soup after pressure cooking, before the cornstarch step. If you want to make your own condensed cream of mushroom soup, "This Old Gal" recommends: 1) in a liquid measuring cup, whisk 1 cup cold milk with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch until well blended. 2) Add to pressure cooker pot, press SAUTE button. 3) Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules (or Better than Bouillon), 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and a dash of pepper. Oh, and add a (drained) small can of mushrooms or 1/4 cup of sauteed mushrooms to make it "mushroom" soup. (Or, if you are a Mushroom Lover, saute 8 ounces of mushrooms on the stove, and add them to the pressure cooker pot at this point.) 4) Heat to a boil, stirring frequently. 5) Simmer on low for one minute more to thicken.
- After incorporating the cream of mushroom soup ingredient(s), decide if you still need to add the additional 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to reach desired consistency.

PRESSURE COOKER BLACK BEAN SOUP
This inky soup, made in a pressure cooker, shows off black beans at their toothsome best. Adapted from the cookbook author and pressure-cooking maven Lorna Sass, the soup gets a bold finish with a mound of tomato-avocado salsa. It is hearty enough to serve for lunch or a light dinner.

Steps:
- In a 6-quart or larger stovetop pressure cooker or an electric pressure cooker, heat the oil over medium-high heat or using the sauté function. Stir in the onions, chile powder, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften, about 1 minute.
- Add the water, beans, chorizo, garlic and bay leaves.
- Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 30 minutes. If using an electric pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
- Turn off the heat if using a stovetop cooker, and allow the pressure to come down naturally, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow the steam to escape.
- Stir well. Discard the bay leaves and add salt to taste. The soup will thicken on standing.
- Just before serving, prepare the avocado salsa by tossing the ingredients together in a bowl. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each portion with a large dollop of salsa.

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This recipe is written for black beans, but you can easily substitute other types of beans, such as pinto beans, kidney beans, or Great Northern beans.
- Soak the beans overnight. Soaking the beans overnight will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Add aromatics to the pot. Aromatics, such as onions, garlic, and celery, will help to add flavor to the beans. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, or corn.
- Season the beans well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of spices and seasonings to the beans. This will help to give them a lot of flavor.
- Let the beans rest before serving. After the beans are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to absorb the flavors of the broth.
Conclusion:
This recipe is a great way to make a delicious and healthy vegetarian meal. The beans are packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients, and the recipe is easy to follow. With a few simple tips, you can make this recipe your own and enjoy it for years to come.
