In this video, I head down to the river, through the flood water to find a spot to do a bit of cooking. After setting up a tarp and getting a fire going, I begin to prepare lunch - a spicy, winter stew cooked in an Afghan Kazan pressure cooker. Pressure and steam build up inside this clever device as it heats up over the fire and that pressure forces the temperature much higher than normal - the result is a much faster cooking time and full flavour as nothing is lost to evaporation - a delicious, warming, spiced stew with melt-in-the-mouth tenderness in just 20 minutes.
As a child, my mother often used a pressure cooker and the hissing sound it made as sat on the stove terrified me. I can honestly say though, I am now a convert - fast cooking times mean less fuel which can only be a good thing, the cheapest, toughest cuts of meat become tender and succulent and the food retains all the nutrients and full flavour - its a winner for me!
I hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching.

600g (1 1/2 lb) diced lamb
1 potato, peeled and chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 parsnip, peeled and chopped

1 cup red wine
Salt
Oil
Spice mix
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp sumac
Fry the onions and meat until the onions have softened and the meat has browned a little.
Add the spices and cook for a minute or so to release the flavours.
Add the tomato puree, water, wine, vegetables and salt.
Close the cooker and cook over a medium hot fire for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and allow the steam and pressure to completely release before opening.
Enjoy.
