Venison Heart and Rice.

I love my pressure cooker.  I have the standard stove top PC not the fancy electric cooker than many of my friends have.  Not that I am jealous (maybe a little) just letting you know what I am cooking with.

Today I made rice in my PC, it has become my favorite way of cooking rice. If you have not tried cooking your rice this way, it is certainly a way for you to try.  I do add a bit extra water and some dehydrated herbs and veggies for flavor and texture.  If you have not cooked rice using your PC follow this link.  There are two different methods to choose from, I use the first one mainly because I think it is a bit simpler.

For the meat for the evening meal I made Venison Heart.  We are deer harvesters every year and it is our main red meat for the year.  I followed this pinterest recipe.  I did marinade the heart in Waldburg Fig & Chili Vinegar for an hour.  I added some fresh garlic, sage, thyme and black pepper to the pot as well as half of an onion and a bottle of Summit True Brit beer instead of water.

All this goodness cooked in about an hour!  I know!  Get your fork and dig in!!

So, if you have fear of your pressure cooker, give it a try, I am certain you will be pleased on how quickly your meals will be prepared.

Let me know if you try any of these recipes. 

And remember, be brave with with herbs!!

Cheers Terri!

There are times when my celery and carrots start to languish in the veggie drawer.  At this point in time I chop up the celery and slice up the carrots and put them into the dehydrator. When they are all dried up I put them into the food processor to grind up into bits and pieces.  Into a jar they go with dehydrated tomato skins and some dehydrated leeks where it will get added into soup broth when the time comes.  I have to thank Pinterest for the idea and this food post.

Another favorite thing I like to make and use for soups is this yummy food post.
