I've been trying to use my pressure cooker for more than just lamb stew and found this recipe. Its in American cups which I find quite liberating to work with - no scales required.
The straight forward recipe is OK, however, its rather plain. Adding some paprika (the spicy variety) - up to a tablespoon and a bit of fresh parsley on the top is a nice touch.
I serve most often with rustic mash (some potato skin included), noodles and rice also work well.
