Habichuelas Rosadas (Pressure Cooker Pink Beans)

Inspired by this recipe

1 pound dried pink beans, rinsed

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

8 cups water + bouillon or chicken broth

2 tsp dried parsley
1 Tbs cumin
1 Tbs chili powder

1 can Ro*Tel Tomatoes

1 can diced tomatoes

1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Salt to taste

Sauté the onions and garlic in your pressure cooker. Excluding the cilantro (add after cooking), add all the remaining ingredients. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, then natural release (about 30 mins). Stir in the cilantro. Serve with rice. 

Lettuce Wraps

The ingredients on this have varied for me, depending on what I have at home, but they have never done me wrong. This recipe is for about 2 people.

1lb ground chicken breast
1/2 medium onion, minced
1-2 carrots, shredded
1/2 cabbage, shredded
salt & pepper, a dash of each
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 inch gnob fresh ginger, peeled & minced (I don't add hardly that much)
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
2 1/2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 Tablespoon honey (I use Splenda)
1 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (or more if you like it hotter)
dash of fresh pepper
3 green onions, chopped
1/2-8oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained & chopped (Paul isn't a fan)
1/4 cup peanuts (I've never added them)

1 head lettuce, cut into 2 halves

Sauté the onions and chicken. Add the veggies and cook until tender. Add the remaining ingredients and serve on lettuce leaves.
