    Tomatoey Parmesan Beans

    This sleeper hit of a weeknight dinner comes from Food Network star Molly Yeh's cookbook Home is Where the Eggs Are—and is basically a vehicle for Parmesan and garlic toast. No complaints! (The alternate version, with ham and cream, is excellent too.)

Fast 15 minute cook time
  • Rub chicken thighs with ras el hanout. Season with salt and pepper if desired. In a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker use the sauté setting to heat oil. Add chicken; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Turn; cook 2 minutes more. For a stove-top cookers, cook directly in the pot over medium-high heat. Add broth to pot. Lock lid in place. Set an electric cooker on high pressure to cook 15 minutes. For a stove-top cooker, bring up to pressure over medium-high heat; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 15 minutes. Remove from heat. For both models, let stand 15 minutes to release pressure naturally. Release any remaining pressure. Open lid carefully. Divide chicken among pita bread rounds. Using a slotted spoon, top chicken with pickled carrots and red onion. Serve with lemon-yogurt sauce.

Turn; cook 2 minutes more. Place chicken in a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Add broth. Cover and cook on high 2 hours or until done (170°F). Remove chicken from slow cooker and slice. Discard broth. Divide chicken among pita bread rounds. Using a slotted spoon, top chicken with pickled carrots and red onion. Serve with lemon-yogurt sauce.

Ras el hanut is a spice blend common in North African and Moroccan cuisines. Specialty and well-stocked grocers now carry this popular spice blend, but If you have trouble finding it you can make your own. In a bowl combine 1 tsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. ground cumin, 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. ground coriander, 1/4 tsp. ground ginger, 1/4 tsp. black pepper, 1/4 tsp. ground turmeric, and 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper.
