Why Did I Disappear?

Before talking about the recipe, I must share few things with you, a little personal but I guess you (my readers) should know what was going on and why I didn’t post for a while. First, let me say that all is well at my end and I spent past days enjoying success and pleasant surprises from my family and friends.

The best thing about being your own boss is taking time off whenever you want and I had to spend some time away from my blog and enjoy all the blessings God showered me with.

I love my stove top pressure cooker, but the microwave version made me fall in love again. I never cooked in the microwave before, the idea is all new to me since I mainly use my stove and oven to cook and the microwave is left for heating food.

  • Place the pressure cooker in the microwave and cook for 23 minutes.
  • Allow the pressure cooker to release all the pressure naturally.
  • Open the pressure cooker and add the olives. Serve hot.

    Looks absolutely delicious. I'd swap chicken with lamb though as I'm not a big fan of chicken. The sauce looks super yummy!

      Lamb will taste great too, I guess you have to cook it longer though!

    sure a delicious meal to try out, moroccan chicken should have this kinda spicy and soft feel from most of their nicely made meals i have tasted down here in my country. yummy delight for me.

    This meal looks wonderful! I love my microwave, but almost never actually prepare a meal in it--just reheat or melt butter, that kind of thing. This looks like great for even cooking.

    Awesome recipe..looks so healthy and flavorful.
    For the last year I've really begun to cook with more Turkish, morracan spices for the healthy benefits.
    And, I'm a huge fan of Kuhn R. Products..and, almost purchased this on QVC a few months ago.

    Love it..
    I'm just subscribe to your blog.
