RATATOUILLE VEGETABLE STEW
Serves: 6
4 minutes, HIGH pressure
A marvelous mixture of vegetables that is just as good hot as it is at room
temperature.
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small eggplant peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium zucchini in ½-inch slices
2 green peppers, seeded and cut into strips
1 medium potato, diced into ½-inch cubes (optional)
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons minced parsley
¼ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon prepared pesto
Use the SAUTÉ setting; heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to stir fry the eggplant,
zucchini, peppers and potato. It will be necessary to do this in several small
batches, remove to a warm platter and reserve. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of
oil to sauté the onion and garlic. Sauté the mixture until the onion is soft. Turn off
the SAUTÉ setting. Return the reserved vegetables to the cooker along with the
remaining ingredients. Close and lock the lid of the multi-cooker and set the timer
for 4 minutes on HIGH pressure.
When done, release the pressure and open the cooker. If there is too much liquid,
use the SIMMER setting to simmer the stew for a few minutes to reduce the
liquid.
