Introduction

Hearty comfort food that's quick to make in the pressure cooker ( or a couple hours otherwise). The lamb flavors the soup so it tastes rich as a stew. I love my pressure cooker!

Ingredients

    water 8C
    Lamb Shank, 3 lb
    Split Peas, .5 cup
    Onions, raw, 1 large chopped
    Leeks, 1.5 cup, sliced
    Turnips, 1 cup, cubes
    Barley, pearled, raw, .5 cup
    Carrots, raw, 2 large (7-1/4" to 8-1/2" long), sliced
    celery, 2 large stalks chopped
    parsley, chopped, 1-2 T
    bay leaves, 2
    salt and pepper

Directions

You will need a 6 qt pressure cooker for this amount of ingredients. Trim the fat off the lamb shanks. You could use lamb neck (no need for an expensive cut here).
Put in uncovered pressure cooker with water, and bring to a slow boil. Skim off foam and discard. Add some salt (use less salt if you are trying to cut down) and pepper.
Add everything else and seal pressure cooker. Cook for 20 min. Cool down. Cut meat off bone and discard bits of fat.
If you have time, chill this enough that you can skim off the fat. Season well with plenty of pepper.
Makes about ten 1.5 cup servings.

This is a variation of the recipe in "Cooking under Pressure".
