DIRECTIONS
Heat a stovetop pressure cooker over medium heat or set an electric
cooker to saute. Add the onion and dry saute for 2 minutes. Add all the
spices and sauté for 1 minute longer.
Add the sweet potatoes, apples, stock, cider, and rum. Lock the lid on the
pressure cooker. Bring to high pressure – cook for 3 minutes. Quick release
the pressure. Remove the lid, carefully tilting it away from you.
Add the lemon zest and juice. Transfer to a dish. Garnish with the toasted
nuts and serve.
For the best results, use tart-sweet firm apples such as
Granny Smith, Jonathan or Stayman.
