Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough offer you a lighter, easy meal. It's a great main course after heavy holiday cooking. Or after weekend guests have finally decamped.

A pressure cooker makes this stew so fast. It also blends the flavors in a marvelous balance. We got a little cross-cultural with flavors from North African, the Middle East, and India, all blended together to create a fabulous stew that takes under ten minutes in the pressure cooker. You can use an electric or a stovetop model and get dinner on the table in no time.
