Jeja (my mom) is a big fan of hers.
It’s understandable since so many Afghan recipes require slow cooking to bring out the best flavors. The pressure cooker is a great way to speed up the process. I have to admit a deep-seated fear of pressure cookers that goes back to my childhood during which I would overhear Jeja and her sisters sharing stories of pressure cookers exploding when people tried to open them too soon. Pressure cookers have come a long way since then, but Jeja still handles hers with caution. Shorwa, which means “soup” in Dari, is one of my favorite Afghan dishes and is the perfect sort of thing to prepare in a pressure cooker. The people of Ghazni, a province located 70 kilometers southwest of Kabul where my dad is from, are known for making the best shorwa.
