    Pressure Cooker Garlic Mushrooms (Spanish Setas al Ajillo)

    A very simple tapas dish these Pressure Cooker Garlic Mushrooms (Spanish Setas al Ajillo) are full of flavour.

    All you need is mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. 

    Well, and your pressure cooker.

    Mix all ingredients, pressure cook, gather all the other dishes for your meal (I can recommend my guide to Spanish tapas for this) and enjoy!

    This is a very easy dish to sauté in a frying pan BUT pressure cooking it infuses it with even better flavours.

    They become super garlicky and full of flavour.

    I already have a version of this recipe for the Thermomix, my Garlic and Serrano Ham Mushrooms.

    Good stir and serve.

    Enjoy as a tapas dish or even stirred through pasta! Fab for mushrooms on toast too, of course!

    How does this pressure cooker recipe work with no added liquid? 

    Mushrooms release a lot of liquid as they cook and so you can get away with no added liquid. 

    Isn’t that handy? 

    As the cooker heats up, the mushrooms release the liquid and produce steam, allowing the float valve to pop up and the cooker to reach pressure.

    You need to make sure your pressure cooker is well maintained though.

    See how much liquid is released by the mushrooms in the photo below? This is why it can reach pressure.

    Other recipes that are good examples of the ingredients releasing liquid as the cooker heat up and therefore being able to get away with less liquid:

      I have no recollection of how I served this, I just remember it was good. My notes said to next time try this over polenta.
