PRESSURE-COOKER MANCHESTER STEW

Pressure-Cooker Manchester Stew image

While in college, I studied abroad. A vegetarian at the time, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and diverse vegetarian food in Britain could be. After returning to the States I re-created my favorite meal from my favorite restaurant and named it after the University of Manchester. When the enticing aroma fills the kitchen, I'm back in England!-Kimberly Hammond, Kingwood, Texas
