Cooking with Pressure:

NOTE: Pressure Cookers are great for cooking large serving sizes of casseroles, curries and such. If you want to reduce the serving quantity however, use half the ingredients stated, but follow the same preparation and cooking steps. Or if quantity is over 1 litre (for combined food and liquid) why not place leftovers in an airtight, freezer safe container and freeze for another day?

Smoked Ham and Split Pea Soup

Serves 8

1 tbsp olive oil

1 large brown onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 ham hock (800g)

500g green split peas, washed

1 bay leaf

4 sprigs thyme

2carrots, peeled, diced

3stalks celery, diced

2 tsp black peppercorns

1 cup white wine

1 litre vegetable stock

½bunch parsley washed, roughly chopped to serve

Sour cream (to taste) to serve

1.Turn the selection control dial to the ‘Sauté’ setting on the pressure cooker and heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic and ham hock and sauté until golden brown.

2.Add the peas, bay leaf, thyme, carrots, celery, peppercorns, wine and vegetable stock and stir well to combine. Securely place and seal the lid onto the pressure cooker and ensure the pressure release valve is set to the sealed position. Turn the selection control dial to setting ‘5’ and allow to cook until the dial returns to OFF and the heating light goes out.

3.Release the pressure from the pressure cooker by turning the pressure release valve to the venting position.

4.Remove the hock and pull away any meat that is still left. Roughly chop the meat and set aside. Pour half the soup into another bowl and using a stick mixer gently blend that half of the soup. Add the chopped ham and the non-blended soup back together with the blended soup and stir until well mixed.

5.Serve with sour cream and parsley.

NOTE: Do not use a stick mixer in the pressure cooker bowl as this could damage the non-stick coating.
