Category: Vegetable and fruit dishes

Mixed minced meat
frozen	300 g
Young zucchini	250 g
Carrot	1/2 pcs. (50 g)
Champignon	150-170 g
Poshekhonsky cheese	120 g
Dried basil	taste
Fine salt	taste
Water	3 + 3 st. l.

Cooking method

• The value of this recipe, in my opinion, is that the dish is cooked in 35 minutes, thanks to the set of pressure. The minced meat gives a special taste, which I do not defrost, but I add in cubes.
• Usually, in a multicooker / pressure cooker, such puff casseroles are cooked for a long time on the "Pastry". I used to do this when I made such a casserole in Brand's multicooker.
• But I really wanted to speed up the cooking somehow. I decided to use the "Porridge" mode in the pressure cooker. Everything turned out the way I wanted! The pressure built up - the dish cooked quickly. The layers did not disintegrate (thanks to the "glue" cheese). It turned out not only tasty and satisfying, but also beautiful.
• Try it yourself.
• Preparation:
• Minced meat, without defrosting, sprinkle with minced meat seasoning and salt (1/4 teaspoon). Let sit for 10 minutes, then cut into cubes (squares) about 3x3 cm
• 
• Peel the vegetables, free the mushrooms from the skin.
• Cut potatoes and carrots into thin slices, mushrooms and zucchini - thicker. (I did all the slicing on a Berner grater.)
• 
• Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
• Cut a piece of foil off and place it in the pot of the pressure cooker with the edges up. Pour vegetable oil at the bottom. Spread it evenly all over the bottom.
• 
• 1 layer. Spread half of the potatoes in several layers. Sprinkle with salt and basil.
• 
• Sprinkle with cheese (1.5-2 tbsp. L.)
• 2nd layer. Spread the minced meat cubes evenly.
• 
• 3rd layer. Arrange the carrot circles, salt and sprinkle with basil.
• Sprinkle with cheese (2 tablespoons).
• 
• 4th layer. Place the zucchini circles with an overlap. Sprinkle with salt and basil.
• Sprinkle with cheese (2 tablespoons).
• 
• 5 layer. Place the remaining potatoes. Tighten all layers with your hand. (This is a very important point!) Season with salt, sprinkle with basil.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• 6 layer. Arrange the mushroom slices, sprinkle with salt.
• 
• 7 layer. Spread out the remaining minced meat squares.
• Sprinkle the entire casserole with cheese.
• 
• Pull back the edge of the foil and pour in 3 tbsp. l. spoons of water so that it gets under the foil (to the bottom of the pan).
• Another 3 tbsp. l. pour on the side of the casserole. (Water is needed for the CB to build up pressure.)
• Close the cover and valve.
• Please select program "Porridge", pressure - 3, time - 30 minutes.
• 10 minutes after the countdown appears, you will hear the pressure cooker build up pressure.
• After the beep, hold the casserole 5 minutes on "Heating". Then release the pressure.
• Open the lid. Remove the casserole dish from the appliance. Let stand for another 5 minutes to seal.
• 
• Then remove by the ends of the foil (it is more convenient to do it together).
• Cut into wedge portions and serve immediately.
• Bon Appetit.

Note

Puff casseroles are a delicious dish. By changing the composition of the ingredients, the proportions can be obtained each time a different taste.
For this puff, accuracy in proportions is also not important. You can remove unloved vegetables by replacing them with others.
You can also increase the amount of cheese. But I wanted to avoid the extra calories.Even with such a relatively small amount of cheese, the layers of the casserole did not fall apart.

Lenochka, now I understand why you add water to the casseroles. This means that when baking in the oven, it really is not needed! And I made the cauliflower casserole according to your recipe right! Today, by the way, they finished eating it - it became even tastier!
Thank you for the new recipe, I will definitely try and report back!

[Galina,]

Galina, thanks for your attention to my recipes. It is very nice. Your opinion is important to me, I appreciate all the impressions and comments.
Indeed, I did not take into account that I should warn you that you do not need to add water at all for the oven. In a pressure cooker, on the other hand, it builds up pressure (which I usually do to speed up the preparation of many dishes.).
I would be glad to have a new "report" !!!
