Cookus Interruptus

(Cynthia snoozes while Jane mashes)

Most of you probably have your own method of making mashed potatoes, but you can save time and intensify flavor by using a pressure cooker to make mashers.  Use small yellow finn or red potatoes and leave the skins on to increase the nutrient value. Watch video and print recipe HERE.

This week on Cookus Interruptus the recipe was cobbled together using one from Theresa Bliffert, one from www.thaifood.com and one from my book Feeding the Whole Family.  It versatile in both the selection of protein and vegetables.  For example, the dish is equally satisfying made with fried tofu and red peppers (instead of tempeh and carrots, beef and sweet potato strips, chicken and broccoli or shrimp and bok choy.  Add any green vegetables during last few minutes of cooking. A stupendous meal served over Golden Spice Rice and next to Nappa Cabbage Slaw with Toasted Almonds.  My oh my.
