Curried Lentils
Lentils are an inexpensive (and protein packed) legume that don’t have a very pro-
nounced flavor. This recipe gets a major boost in the taste department with a good
amount of curry. Serve them up as a vegetarian entree or the perfect side for any meal
that could use a little pick me up.
2 cups dried lentils 1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 teaspoons curry powder
5 teaspoons chicken base
1
⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
1 large onion, chopped salt to taste
Rinse the lentils in a colander, picking through them to make sure there are no stones or
other objects. Add all ingredients to pressure cooker, stir and securely lock on lid. Set the
cooker to
High (15.0P)
and cook for 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this electrical appliance, safety precautions must always be
observed, including the following:
A Pressure Cooker is very safe when used properly.
■ READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
■
Close adult supervision must be provided when this appliance is used by
or near children. Keep pressure cooker out of the reach of children.
■
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
■
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
■
The pressure cooker has a polarized AC (Alternating Current) plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way, as a safety feature. Reverse the plug if the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet. Contact a qualified electrician if it still does not fit. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
■
Short power cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becom-
ing entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer extension cord
is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
■ Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not
working as it should, has been dropped or damaged, left outdoors or
dropped into water, do not use it and return it to the manufacturer for
proper service, repair, or replacement.
■
Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
■
Do not place near hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
■
Always use in a well ventilated area.
■
For indoor use only.
■
The pressure cooker is for household use only. The pressure cooker
should not be used for other than the intended use.
■
Do not cover the appliance or have it near flammable material
including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like when in operation.
■
Do not cover the pressure valves with anything. An explosion may occur.
■
Do not use without the removable cooking pot in place. This will reduce
the risk of electrical shock.
■
Do not fill the pressure cooker more than
1
/2 full with food or
2
/3 full
