Finally using the pressure cooker setting of my multicooker! This recipe is super simple and tasty, serve it with a salad and you’ve got a healthy weeknight meal.

Ingredients:
3 oz bacon, diced
20 scallions, thinly sliced
1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 c vermouth
3 1/2 c chicken broth

Set machine to 9 – 11 psi for 9 minutes. 

Unlock and set to sauté medium. Cook until thickened (about 3 min). Stir in cheese and pepper.
