Notes

Make a little extra to have some the next day. I think it tastes better after everything has had a chance to mingle. 
Recommended equipment and tools:
Pot - a good large pot with a lid. I prefer All-Clad but there are other quality brands as well. 
Slotted Spoon
Instant Pot - This is the one I have and use often
Serving Bowl - something pretty to serve up your creation!
