Tex-Mex chicken soup: A winter soup that fits this cold season and is finished in just 30 minutes cooking time in the Fissler pressure cooker.
Here is my recipe and at the same time my experience with the pressure cooker Vitafit comfort:
ingredients
For 4 and more people:
- 1 soup chicken
- 1 clove of garlic
- 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder (or dark chocolate)
- 1 can of kidney beans
- 1 can of white beans in tomato
- 1 can of corn
- 1 red onion
- 1 chili pepper
- 1 small tin of tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or sour cream
- 1/2 bunch of coriander fresh
- salt
- oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin (cumin)
- 1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
- 1 tsp thyme (dried)
preparation
- The garlic clove, the spices as well as Chilischote and tomato paste cut into fine rings are sautéed in little pressure oil in the pressure cooker for approx. 3-4 minutes.
- Divide the chicken and also put it in the pot.
- Sufficient salt water (contrary to the Mexican way I use here not additionally industrially produced chicken broth) fill up.
- Close lid, set cooking level 2 on the cooking crown on the lid. *
- After 30 minutes, turn off the oven, leave the pot on the stove until the steam escapes by itself and the rings sink back into the cooking crown. During this time, the meat is still cooking. If this is not desired, for example with vegetables, rice or similar, the closed pot can also be placed in the sink and the lid is covered with cold water until the rings retract into the cooking crown.
- Now the lid can be opened, as the pressure has dropped as soon as the colored rings are no longer visible.
- Remove the chicken and remove the meat from the bones.
- Add the vegetables, finely sliced onion rings and cocoa powder to the hot broth.
- Heat briefly without cover.
- Serve on plates, sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
* The Fissler pressure cooker has a so-called traffic light system:
As soon as steam forms in the closed pot, the cooking stage reached is indicated by three differently colored rings in the cooking crown:
Yellow ring: The cooking level is almost reached, the stove can now be lowered.
Green Ring: From now on the time is measured.
Red ring: The stove should be switched down, as the pot inside temperature is too high.
information
I've been cooking on an induction cooker for years and have never thought about a pressure cooker ever since thick saucepans on induction cooking do not have the same position as cooking on electric plates or a glass ceramic hob.
About 40 years ago, I had been able to gain experience in fast food cooking, but completely lost sight of him. Although today I have enough time to cook and even these fast induction plates, but I am u. a. for example, how delicately even beef becomes in a short time.
With the Fissler pressure cooker, I have now cooked 6 dishes and would not miss the experience.
It should be remembered that when using induction and pressure cooker, it is tried out how the cooker should be adjusted. From my first vegetable dishes were unscheduled creamy soups, since even level 4 on the stove and level 1 on the cooking crown were set too high. Cooking time and cook settings must be explored according to experience, I can not go there according to the attached practical table and have made the experience: Better 1 minute too little than a minute too much.
Disturbing affects me, as many years ago, in this model, the long pot handle. Just because of the weight you need a special place for the pot (if you keep eg pots in a roundel), then there is the long handle.
As practical, if not really contemporary, but again turns out the possibility to remove the stem for cleaning as well as for stowage and store inside the pot.
All in all, I am satisfied with the Fissler vitafit comfort. It has not changed much, except for the traffic light system in the last 40 years: 40 years ago, as far as I remember, there were white rings, one, two or three, and today there are three colored rings indicating the cooking level: practical, but no innovation.
For beginners, this pressure cooker is recommended, especially when cooking on electric plates or glass ceramic hob.
The handling is simple, the cooking result perfect: tender meat, tender vegetables containing vegetables.
Anyone who has experience with Fissler pressure cookers, should expect nothing new, but this is not considered negative.
All in all, cooking with the pressure cooker is extremely time-saving and extremely vitamin-friendly thanks to the accompanying perforated steamer insert.
