Pressure Cooker Siciliana Meatballs

I have talked to several people about pressure cooking food. I am always amazed that so many think the pressure cooker is taboo when it comes to making a delicious meal. 

I do understand their fear about the cooker exploding or blowing up in their face. I had the same thoughts and for years, I refused to use one also. But today, the pressure cookers have so many safety 

features on them, it is nearly impossible for one to explode.

  I have a couple different ones but my go too cooker is this QVC

I have decided to cook and share some of my recipes I am using in the pressure cooker. I love that you can put in a frozen chicken, pork or beef and 3o minutes later have a wonderful dinner. You can just throw in spices, veggies, potatoes, or whatever you wish and in just a little bit, dinner is served.
