Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice – Chipotle Copycat

Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice

Chipotle Copycat

A few years ago, when my wife was pregnant with our second child, we ate too much Chipotle. She had the worst food aversion possible and it was the only thing that sounded good. So much so that it went from being my favorite fast food place to not wanting to eat it for a year. That’s no exaggeration, we went more than a year without even thinking about it. During that stretch, I began making it at home pretty regularly because I just couldn’t afford it any more! Well, this Instant Pot cilantro lime rice is my very own Chipotle Copycat cilantro lime rice. And it’s pretty doggone good!

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice with Fresh Herbs

Posted on July 13, 2018
Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice | The Foodie Eats

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice with Fresh Herbs

When we think of perfectly cooked rice, we usually think of fluffy, tender, individual grains of rice. In the typical rice recipe, sticky, gummy rice is to be avoided at all costs.  Unless of course, you’re intentionally trying to make sticky rice, a staple food in northern Thailand. Now,  while I am definitely not from Thailand, I do appreciate cuisine from all around the world. And this pressure cooker coconut rice is reflective of that.

Serve with Something Saucy!

While the texture of our pressure cooker coconut rice shares some characteristics with sticky rice, it is not at all a Thai sticky rice recipe. Thai sticky rice is made with sweet rice and water, while our recipe combines jasmine rice with coconut milk and fresh herbs. However, like Thai sticky rice, this coconut rice yields a slightly sticky rice that pairs well with saucy dishes like our Instant Pot Country Ribs with Sweet Spicy Red Curry Sauce, or our Instant Pot Curry with Chickpeas, Tomatoes & Spinach.

Mint in a savory dish?

While you may think of spearmint gum, mint chocolate chip ice-cream, and other sweet treats when we hear the word “mint”, it’s actually a versatile herb that works well in both sweet and savory dishes. It pairs perfectly with the other flavors of this dish. If cooking savory dishes with mint is new to you, trust us, it works. Maybe give this Spring Pea and Mint Risotto a try!

 

The Process

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice | The Foodie Eats

Rinse rice under cold water until water begins to run clear. Then transfer wet rice to pot.

 

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice | The Foodie Eats

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk and vegetable broth.

 

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice | The Foodie Eats

Pour liquid over rice, along with salt, and give a quick mix. Lock lid at cook for 4 minutes at high pressure.

 

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice | The Foodie Eats

Once cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.

 

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice | The Foodie Eats

Meanwhile, take a few leaves of mint and basil…

 

Pressure Cooker Coconut Rice | The Foodie Eats

… and chop them as finely as you can.

Then, use a fork to fluff rice. (This rice recipe will be both sticky and clumpy, not individual grains – perfect for serving with something with lots of liquid to soak it up.)

Instant Pot Curry with Chickpeas, Tomatoes & Spinach

Instant Pot Curry with Chickpeas, Tomatoes and Spinach | The Foodie Eats

Instant Pot Curry with Chickpeas, Tomatoes & Spinach

First, let me begin by saying that I am fully aware that this is not an authentic preparation of curry. I mean, I live in Florida, with roots from Alabama and the Carolinas. But, this recipe is a quick, flavorful, Americanized Instant Pot curry. And it’s been a big hit every time I’ve served it! Try it with this Coconut-Herb Rice.

I’ve eaten a lot of “quick and easy” curries before. And, quite frankly, they often lack the most important ingredient in ANY food: Flavor! Well, let me assure you that this version delivers. I’ve taken this dish to multiple potlucks. And surprisingly, it has been the big hit! (Possibly because no one knew it was a plant-based recipe…? Lol.)

The Process

Using sauté setting – add oil, onions, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook for about 3 minutes, until onions are soft and translucent.

Instant Pot Baby Lima Beans

Posted on April 28, 2018
Instant Pot Baby Lima Beans | The Foodie Eats

Instant Pot Baby Lima Beans

Baby lima beans (aka butterbeans) are one of my favorite foods in the whole world. And that’s not an exaggeration. I’ve even been known to eat a bowl of these for breakfast. Before the Instant Pot entered my life, making baby lima beans was a 45 minute process that involved simmering on the stove top.  But now, with just two minutes of prep, these Instant Pot baby lima beans couldn’t be any more simple to make – not to mention incredibly delicious!

 

Instant Pot Baby Lima Beans | The Foodie Eats

 

The Difference Between Butter Beans and Lima Beans

There seems to be some debate over the difference between butter beans and lima beans. Some people swear they’re different beans. Others say that lima beans are a mature butter bean, while butter beans are baby limas. And even some others state that there is no difference at all.

So, is there a difference? The short answer is: No. Butter beans and lima beans are simply different names for the same bean. In the US south and in the UK, they’re commonly referred to as butter beans, while going by the name of lima beans in most other areas. So, you say lima bean, I say butter bean (and vice versa). Still not convinced? You can read more about the difference between butter beans and lima beans, along with several other names they go by, here.

 

Baby Lima Beans vs. Lima Beans

Now that we’ve established butter beans and lima beans are actually the same thing, what’s the difference between baby lima beans and lima beans? Baby lima beans are fresh and green, while regular lima beans (which are more mature), are typically dried and beige. For this recipe, you’ll want a bag of fresh frozen baby limas.

 

The Process

(Easiest on the Whole Internet!)

Instant Pot Baby Lima Beans | The Foodie Eats

Place beans, water, black pepper, butter, and bay leaf in IP. Lock lid, close vent, and set manual time for 7 minutes on high pressure.

 

Instant Pot Baby Lima Beans | The Foodie Eats

Open lid and add salt. Mix well, then allow to sit for at least 10 minutes on warm setting. Serve and enjoy!

If you add the salt before cooking, the skin of the beans will be tougher. It is kind of a rule-of-thumb to always add salt to beans AFTER they are cooked.

Sautéed Collard Greens Recipe

Posted on April 20, 2018
Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Sautéed Collard Greens Recipe

I grew up eating collard greens on a regular basis. I mean, they are pretty much the quintessential southern food. And we ALWAYS cooked them in some sort of pork fat – ham hocks, smoked neck bones, or even pig tails. It wasn’t until my adulthood I that realized the beauty and deliciousness of sautéed collard greens!

 

Hear me now, believe me later… You don’t even need bacon (or chicken stock for that matter) to make delicious sautéed collard greens. After eating vegan for a season, I discovered that you can have perfectly tender and flavorful greens in just about 30 minutes! And enjoy them without any animal fat. Trust me!

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

 

The Process

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Remove leaves from stems and wash thoroughly at least twice. We usually let them soak in the water on the first wash to help any stubborn grit loosen to be washed away. A little grit goes a long way, and can ruin eating them.

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Cut away as much or as little of the stem from the leaves as you like. The stems can be tough and bitter, so we remove quite a bit.

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Stack 7 or 8 leaves and roll them tightly, like you would a cigar.

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Then thinly slice across the rolled greens. At this point, we usually wash them one last time.

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Using a large sauce pan over medium-high heat – add oil and onions and cook for a few minutes, until onions are softened and translucent.

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and vinegar. Cook for about 1 minute, but don’t let the garlic become brown.

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

Add collards, stock, salt, pepper, and sugar and cook for at least 25 minutes, depending on how soft you want the greens. Stir them frequently to ensure even cooking, but keep them covered when not stirring. They should be perfect when all of the liquid evaporates.

 

Sautéed Collard Greens | The Foodie Eats

If all the stock evaporates, feel free to add more about 1/2 cup at a time. You only want enough liquid to produce steam.

Vegan Sushi Recipe – Made Easy Using the Sushezi!

Posted on April 7, 2018
Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Vegan Sushi Recipe

Made Easy Using the Sushezi!

There are few foods in life I enjoy as much as sushi rolls. I have been know to put down a few dozen pieces in a single sitting. Recently, I was asked to bring an assortment of sushi rolls to a dinner party. And of all the rolls I brought, who would’ve thought that this vegan sushi recipe would be my favorite… Hands down!

Do I really need a Sushezi to make this recipe?

Short answer: No. You can roll these by hand and still have an incredibly delicious sushi roll, but believe me- once you try making sushi using a Sushezi, you’ll never go back.

I received a Sushezi last Christmas from my mother-in-law and it has changed our lives. My sushi before tasted good, but did not look impressive at all. Well, now my rolls are perfect ever single time!

The Tool:

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Why This Recipe Works So Well

My favorite part of any recipe is the acidity. I can look at the ingredients list of any recipe and tell whether or not I’m going to like it. The secret to well-balanced food is acidity. And sadly, it’s often overlooked. Acidity in food is simply adding either vinegar or citrus juice. It makes your taste buds come alive! It makes them pop! Food without acidity is flat.

That being said… the secret ingredient to this vegan sushi recipe is the KIMCHI! Might sound scary, or even be scary on it’s own. But when playing a supporting role, it actually becomes the star! And while kimchi is not technically an acid component, it pretty much acts as one in this roll. Plus there’s lots of vinegar in the rice, lol.

 

The Process

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

These are the veggies we chose (which really worked great) but you really can choose any that you prefer.

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Prepare veggies according to ingredient list. The goal is to have them all about the same diameter. They will roll much easier if they are closer to the same size.

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Add 1/4 tsp. of oil to each side of the Sushezi and spread out to coat evenly. (I used a paper towel.)

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Add 1/2 cup packed rice to each side. The key to making this work is to make sure there’s enough rice to fill both sides. Then pack it down.

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Use the rod/plunger to form a trench in both sides of rice.

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Add veggies to each side, pressing them down into the trench. Place the rod in the end of the Sushezi and line up the grooves. Then carefully (and somewhat quickly) bring together both sides and lock both latches.

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Place the cap on the end of the tube and lock it. Twist the rod in a clockwise motion to pack the inside rice roll.

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Remove cap from end and push rod through. Try to make sure the roll comes out where you want it to land, just in case it’s sticky and difficult to move.

 

Vegan Sushi Recipe | The Foodie Eats

Wrap the nori around the roll. Use water as an adhesive to help it seal, on the inside and outside. Then, with a very sharp knife, carefully slice roll into 12 pieces.

Recipe Notes

Whenever handling the rice, make sure your hands are very wet.

Also, when slicing the rolls, clean your knife with water after every slice. It's a lot of work, but it will slice beautifully.

Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad

With all the extra treats of the holiday season making their way into our bellies, we definitely need to work in salad for dinner every now and then. This kale and Brussels sprout salad is hearty enough for a full meal! And the options are endless, as you can switch out whatever fruits you have on hand. Since it’s currently in between fall and winter, our grocery store had the best prices on apples and pears. So that’s what we used.

Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts
  • 1 small bunch kale - de-ribbed, shredded
  • 4 radishes - cut into eighths
  • 1 apple - diced
  • 1 pear - diced
  • 5 Tbsp. lemon juice - separated
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup agave nectar
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil
Instructions
  1. Slice off the stems of the Brussels sprouts and remove outer leaves individually. Then thinly slice the inside, so there is nearly no waste. Once you dice the apple and pear, immediately toss them in 2 Tbsp. lemon juice to prevent discoloration. In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, kale, radishes, apple, pear, and raisins. Give a good toss!
  2. In a medium bowl - whisk together the 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, vinegar, agave nectar, nutritional yeast, sugar, salt, and pepper until the liquid appears creamy. Then slowly whisk in the oil.
  3. Pour dressing over salad and toss well to evenly coast all the ingredients. Let stand for at least 15 minutes (and up to an hour refrigerated) before serving. This will help the hearty greens "soften" just a little bit.
  4. Serve and enjoy!

Instant Pot Hoppin John

Instant Pot Hoppin John

Vegan or Not!

With the new year approaching, I feel it’s only right that we share a southern tradition with you: black-eyed peas! And the legend says that eating them for New Year’s Day will bring good fortune. Well, I may not be a big believer in luck, but I am one who loves traditions. So please enjoy this incredibly easy Instant Pot Hoppin John recipe. And if you make two minor adjustments, it becomes as vegan as it gets!

 

Vegans Don’t Read This – It’s About Bacon

While growing up, I can ALWAYS remember a little dish of bacon grease next to the stove. My dad would use it to make scrambled eggs – the best eggs in the world. Now as an adult, I find that this is a tradition that stuck with me.

I have found having a mason jar of bacon grease next to the range makes me a true southerner. And while I don’t use it often, I have a few dishes that I highly recommend using it. This is one of them. That is, unless you’re vegan. Or simply don’t have any. We’ve tried it both ways and it’s still delicious!

Instant Pot Sushi Rice

Posted on November 16, 2017

Instant Pot Sushi Rice Recipe

There are few foods that have me doing the happy dance as much as sushi rolls. But let me tell you, it can be an expensive habit! So over the past year and a half, I’ve been learning and trying to perfect making it at home. And little did I know that the key is the rice! So when you combine this new mission with my slight obsession with my Instant Pot, you get this perfect Instant Pot sushi rice recipe! I’m very happy about it.

Why Use the Instant Pot for This?

There’s a simple reason I prefer using the Instant Pot for rice: consistency! We actually got rid of our rice cooker once we discovered how perfectly the IP cooked rice each and every time. And any kitchen that can take away the guesswork gets my vote.

I Know… It Seems Like a Lot of Vinegar

I wasn’t surprised at how many comments we received about how much vinegar is called for in this recipe. I also wasn’t surprised at the response after people gave it a try! It may seem like a lot, but trust me on this… It creates an amazing flavor! And I think it’s some of the best sushi rice I’ve ever tasted. Try it!

The Process

Instant Pot Sushi Rice Recipe | The Foodie Eats

In a fine mesh strainer – Rinse rice under running water for about 2 minutes, Then let dry for a few minutes.
