Ten minutes in the pressure cooker.

I have decided to start saving for my vacations in earnest. Today I checked what I have and decided not to buy groceries online this week either. I need a couple of things but all can be replaced. My friend Coral (@TheSojourner) has taught me some things and I have learned others from the age old method of trial and error. Today I found a lot of lentils. I didn´t know that I had so much. I placed most of them in a big glass jar but I am cooking the rest. It will be 10 minutes in my pressure cooker. I now have the tomato paste for 3 servings (of 2 to 3 people each) and now I´ll have the lentils. I´ll caramelize half an onion with garlic, merkén (smoked hot paprika made in the south by the Mapuche people) and some of my leftover rice. That, and a salad, will be a wonderful meal for Wednesday´s lunch when Rosa comes. Today I´ll eat some leftover pasta. I don´t know how I will do it. I already ate a pork chop, as I decided that I would eat proteins every day in the late morning or at noon. My new skillet does not need oil or butter so even not so lean meats are more healthy.
