Tips from Sia

  • We can use frozen green beans.
  • In the pressure cooker we add a minimal amount of water (maybe less than half a glass), because the green beans and potatoes will release their own juices. We want the food to remain “in its oil” and not turn into a soup.
  • If as soon as we open the pressure cooker we see that it has too much liquid, we let it boil for 5 minutes with the lid open on high heat, until the tomato sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
