Pressure cooker fish soup

I've been playing around with my pressure cooker lately. This came out pretty well, but I'm still tweaking it. One thing that's nice is that it's absurdly easy.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb frozen halibut or other white fish, in thick chunks (do not defrost)
  
• 1 can light coconut milk
• 1 carton low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1/2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp tamari
• 1 12-oz package of sliced mushrooms
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
  
• 1 tbsp minced ginger

RECIPE:

1. Combine all ingredients in a pressure cooker. Turn the cooker to high, and let cook for 4 minutes once pressure is reached. Use cold-water release method.

I told you it was easy.

Tzimmes Kugel

Originally called "Mrs. Feinberg's Vegetable Kugel," from a cookbook by Joan Nathan, this recipe has been an absolute fixture at family events for decades.

I have substituted safflower oil for margarine and reduced the quantity of both oil and sugar by 50%. Butter or margarine could also be used; in these cases, use 1/3 cup.

I am curious as to how this would work with crushed crackers instead of matzo meal. I'll bet water crackers would be quite similar, and graham crackers might be excellent.

We usually triple the recipe and cook it in a bundt pan.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup grated raw apple
• 1 cup grated raw sweet potato
• 1 cup grated raw carrots
• 1 cup matzo meal
• 1/4 cup safflower oil (or 1/3 cup margarine or butter)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp nutmeg

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 325.
2. In a large bowl, combine apples, sweet potatoes and carrots.
3. In another bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
4. Add oil to vegetable mixture and combine well. Add in dry ingredients and combine well.
5. Grease a loaf pan or muffin tins and add the mixture to the pan. (You can also triple the recipe and use a bundt pan; see above.)
6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes (muffins), 45 minutes (loaf) or 1 hour (bundt pan).
7. Increase heat to 350, remove foil, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
8. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
