Ingredients

    Carrots, raw, 2 small (5-1/2" long)
    Celery, cooked, 2 stalks
    Carrots, cooked, 2 carrot
    Onions, raw, 0.5 small
    Green Beans (snap), .5 cup
    Chicken Broth, 1 cup (8 fl oz)
    *Spinach, cooked, .3 cup
    Garlic, 1 tsp

Directions


Cut and cook all the ingredients in a pressure cooker[*].
The perfect timing is that as soon as the pot starts make a steady noise turn off the fire (5-8 minutes). Wait till no steam are released by the valve (like 10 minutes) and use a spoon to release the rest of the steam by rising that valve a little. NEVER OPEN A STEAM/PRESSURE COOKER WITHOUT MAKING SURE ALL THE STEAM HAS BEEN RELEASED.

Open the cooker and set medium fire. Add 3-5 sleeves of spinach and the garlic and cook for 5 minutes more. Salt and pepper as desired.

Ingredients for 1 big portion, as this is the only thing I eat on dinner twice a week I eat the whole preparation.

[*] Pressure cooker o pressure pot are a amazing solution to cook hard items in less than the 30% of the required time. It will save you money on energy or gas bill and reducing the time you spend on the kitchen. You can cook 5 small potatoes with skin (just by adding like a cup of watter and salt) in like 10 minutes. They will come out soft, humid and 100% fresh and natural.
