Pressure Cooker Tzimmes
Description
Pressure Cooker Tzimmes includes cubed yams, sliced carrots, prunes, dried cranberries or raisins, orange juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. All ingredients are combined in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker and cooked under manual pressure briefly for 2 minutes. The quick release prevents the yams from becoming overly soft.
After pressure cooking, if the mixture is too liquid, sauté mode is used with the lid off to evaporate excess moisture. The resulting dish features soft yams and carrots infused with the sweetness of orange juice and dried fruits, while cinnamon adds warmth along with a subtle balance of salt and pepper.
This tzimmes is often served as a side dish during holidays or family meals, complementing savory mains with its natural sweetness and tender texture. The addition of skins on the yams saves prep time and retains nutrients. Ready in minutes, it offers a flavorful, comforting vegetable-fruit medley.
Quickly release pressure right after cooking to keep yams from becoming mushy.Leaving the yam peels on adds nutrients and reduces preparation time.
Ingredients
- 2 large yam about 2 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes, red
- 1 pound carrot sliced
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 ½ cup prune dried
- ½ cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a 6-quart electric pressure cooker, add in all the ingredients and stir together until well-combined.
- Place the lid on and turn the manual pressure on for 2 minutes. When it’s finished, let the pressure out using the quick release.
- If it’s more liquid than you’d like, keep the lid off and turn the saute button on until it evaporates to your liking. It shouldn’t be soupy.
Notes
- Release the pressure as soon as cooking ends to prevent overly soft yams.
- Leave yam peels intact to save prep time and keep nutrients.
