Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

INSTANT POT TURKEY CHILI


Serves 4 to 6
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 medium green bell pepper, cored and finely diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce (optional)
Toppings for serving: shredded cheddar cheese, sliced scallions, diced avocado, sour cream
Place the oil in an electric pressure cooker. Turn the sauté setting on and heat the oil until shimmering. Add the turkey and cook, stirring constantly to break up the meat into small pieces, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
Add the onion, bell pepper, carrots, celery, and garlic. Stir and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, black beans, green chiles, water, chili powder, cumin, salt, and tamari or soy sauce if using. Stir to combine.
Secure the lid and close the vent. Set the cook time for 20 minutes at high pressure. When the cooking time completes, open the valve to release the pressure. Open the lid away from your face. Stir the chili. Taste and add salt, soy sauce or tamari, and other seasonings as needed. Serve the chili with your desired toppings.
