Monday Stew

There is a pressure-cooker stew recipe in JPFF that seemed pretty intriguing. I love stew, but it's too time consuming to make during the week; the pressure cooker method is an escape from this.

I winged a recipe:
4 chicken thighs
olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, diced
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbs sherry vinegar
2 sausages (I used a game sausage), cut into 1 cm slices
1 large can crushed tomatoes
bouillion
smoked paprika
sweet paprika
freshly ground cumin and coriander
black pepper
1 can beans

In the pressure cooker container brown the chicken thighs well in the olive oil. Remove from the pan and add the onions and garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently, to partially deglaze. Finish deglazing with the vinegar. Add a goodly quantity of both types of paprika, cumin, coriander, and black pepper. Add the tomatoes, sausage, bouillion, the chicken (along with whatever juices have collected around it), and a bit of water. Cover the pressure cooker and bring up to pressure. Cook for 30 minutes. Add the beans just before serving.

This took less than an hour and half start to finish and was very good. We ate it over spaetzle.

As a side we had sauteed blue beans and a green salad.
