Boiled wheat is my new favourite grain , cooked in chicken stock.
Also to be EVEN more frugal when making chicken stock i return all the chicken and trimmings (removing the onion) add in more veg lying around (sweet potato sprouts etc ) and splash of water and pressure cook for another 30mins plus natural release. This all then gets whizzed up with a stick blender (soft bones , cartilage and all) to a paste and given to the dog as a topping to his dried food.
Reading your post, enjoying the lovely recipes and eating cheese, I made a spicy chicken and rice dish in my pressure cooker but it just wasn't right somehow and didn't enjoy it, some just turn out like that.
Get some walking poles, I bought some a few years ago after falling, it gives me a bit of confidence especially when it's muddy and wet, they're also good for pushing nettles and brambles out of the way in summer, had to buy an extra set as the grandchildren love using them and pretend to be 'grannies' after watching Bluey 😊
I’m still living with electrician (who’s gone off, promising to return sometime this week, leaving the house in a shambles. All cupboards emptied and contents piled into rooms for some reason).
Pressure cooking: Roast potatoes: potato chunks, steamed 5 mins high pressure
Quick kale and broccoli. Add butter to pan, then the washed sliced veg, a splash of water, tsp black cumin, HP and immediately switch off, allowed to drop to level 1 and then quick release. Added a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Cauliflower cheese: 5 mins HP steamed cauli florets; leeks added to unwashed hot pan with butter, splash of water, brought to HP and immediate fast release.
Gingered lentils - fry onions, add lentils, grated fresh ginger and stock. 6 mins HP.
Potatoes sliced, 5 mins hp.
Swiss chard, stalks in steam basket 2 mins HP and quick release, add leaves and bring to HP with immediate quick release
Lentils, 7 mins HP, slow release, to add to aubergine and mushroom curry.

Lovely uses of cheese rinds.
