I would love to try this recipe, but am unsure of "3 whistles" referring to the amount of time in the pressure cooker. Can you explain further - approximately how long are you cooking under pressure? Thanks! :-)

If you are using 0.5 pound of lamb then add 2 cups of florets and if using 1 pound lamb then increase to 3 - 3.5 cups of florets. I haven't tried making with lamb cut into small pieces. The only meat I have used so far for this dish is ground lamb.
