PRESSURE COOKER FISH IN A PACKET (PESCE AL CARTOCCIO)

Steps:

• I like to measure out the width of my pressure cooker with parchment paper before starting. You don't want to finish your lovely packet and then discover that it doesn't fit in your pressure cooker! To do this, cut a long piece of parchment paper, lay your parchment paper over your pressure cooker, and fold it to fit about one inch (or 3cm) from each side - see photo. Now, you have your parchment creases are your packet "guidelines"!
• Use a mandolin on the thinnest setting to get the potatoes and onions really thin. Lay out your parchment paper, and layer the ingredients in the following order:Swirl of olive oilSingle layer of thin potato slicesSalt and Pepper and swirl of olive oilFish FilletSalt & Pepper and swirl of olive oilHerbsA couple of onion ringsLemon SlicesPinch of SaltSwirl of olive oil
• Fold your paper packet.
• Next, cut a long piece of foil and wrap the paper packet snugly inside the tin foil.
• Prepare pressure cooker by pouring in two cups of water, and the steamer basket. You can cook about two fillets at a time, or if using a tall pressure cooker, make a second layer using another steamer basket or trivet - just make sure that the packets have space all around for the steam to come in contact with and heat them.
• Close the lid and set the valve to pressure cooking position.
• Electric pressure cookers: Cook for 10 minutes at high pressure. Stovetop pressure cookers: Lock the lid, and cook for 12 minutes at high pressure.
• When time is up, open the cooker by releasing the pressure through the valve.
• Take out the packets and slide the parchment paper packet out of the tin foil onto individual plates.
• Serve with a pair of scissors or tear the paper open right before eating.
