Steamed Zucchini Bread

Boston brown bread has been a Yankee favorite since before Ben Franklin was born. This light, modern rendition benefits from delicious shreds of vitamin-rich zucchini and quick and easy pressure cooking. Instead of steaming for three hours like the original, this bread is cooked in just 35 minutes.
