PRESSURE COOKER MEATBALLS
For all you pressure cooker addicts like me, here is a great recipe for weeknight dinners...the leftovers are great re-heated. Of course you can serve without the noodles for a smorgasbord or pot-luck. Adapted from "125 Best Pressure Cooker Recipes" by Cinda Chavich (my favorite pressure cooker cookbook). She uses dill in her meatballs, I don't like dill, so I make mine with thyme and oregano. You can easily customize the type and amount of spices. I actually add a liberal dose of Hungarian Paprika to the sauce. Definitely mince the onion, a bigger chop does not mix well, as the meatballs are small. The sauce is more thin than thick, so sometimes I add a little "Wondra". Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, soak bread in milk until absorbed. Using your hands, break up bread; mix in beef and pork. Stir in egg, minced onion, thyme, oregano and salt. Form into 3/4 inch (2 cm) balls. This is often a smaller size than you think! Set aside.
- In a pressure cooker, melt butter over medium-high heat; stir in flour until moistened. Gradually whisk in beef broth and water. Bring to a simmer. Carefully transfer meatballs to sauce.
- Lock the lid in place and bring cooker up to full pressure over medium -high heat. Reduce to medium-low, just to maintain even pressure, and cook for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, blend the first 9 ingredients for the meatballs. Moisten your palms with water, and shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
- In a 4-quart or larger pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onions and green pepper, and cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the wine, scraping up any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the cooker. Boil until the wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in the water, and add the meatballs in one or two layers. Pour the tomatoes over the meatballs. (Do not stir.) Sprinkle on the garlic powder.
- Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cold running water. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow the steam to escape.
- Split a meatball in half to check for doneness. If necessary, cover the cooker, and simmer until done.
- Gently stir in the olives, feta, parsley, crushed red pepper, oregano, cinnamon and a tablespoon of olive oil, if needed, to give the sauce a rich finish. Simmer a few minutes. Season to taste with sugar, salt and pepper (go easy on the salt, as the olives and feta have plenty). Serve in shallow bowls, garnished with feta.

Tips:
- Choose the right meat: Ground beef or turkey are classic choices, but you can also use lamb, pork, or a combination of meats.
- Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor profile.
- Use a combination of breadcrumbs and oats: This helps to keep the meatballs moist and tender.
- Brown the meatballs before cooking them in the pressure cooker: This helps to develop their flavor and prevent them from sticking to the pot.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: Broth, stock, or even tomato sauce can all be used to add flavor to the meatballs.
- Don't overcrowd the pressure cooker: Leave some space between the meatballs so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the meatballs on high pressure for 10-12 minutes: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the pressure cooker naturally release for 10 minutes before opening: This helps to prevent the meatballs from becoming tough.
