Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

6 strips Schneiders® Butchers Cut Bacon, sliced into ½-inch strips

1 white onion, chopped

1½ cups sorghum

3-1/2 cups chicken broth

1/2 tsp salt

4 tsp lemon juice

3 tbsp chopped fresh mint

1 tbsp chopped fresh dill

1 cup frozen peas

1 bunch watercress, trimmed and tough stems removed

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Set an electric pressure cooker to sauté function on medium heat; add olive oil and bacon to pot.  Cook, stirring, until the bacon is rendered and crisp, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove from pan to paper towel-lined plate.

Add onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add sorghum and toast for about 3 minutes. Stir in broth and salt.

Close and seal lid; set manually to cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes; turn steam vent to venting position to release remaining pressure. Open lid and stir well.  

Stir in lemon juice, herbs and peas; top with watercress without stirring. Close lid and let stand until greens are tender, about 10 minutes.

Serve topped with reserved bacon and Parmesan cheese.
