What are your favorite Instant Pot/pressure cooker recipes?
My husband and I are looking to do more with our Instant Pot in the coming year. The last thread we had on this topic was from 2018, so I figure we could use an update.
- What are your favorite Instant Pot/pressure cooker recipes?
Please link to the full recipe if possible!
Our favourite slow-cooker recipe is a variation on this: https://tasty.co/recipe?0=%2Fslow-cooker-butter-chicken&slug=slow-cooker-butter-chicken&canonicalUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ftasty.co
We tend to leave the chicken breast whole and cook it for much longer so that they fall apart when taken out - we then shred it a little and serve.
That link is broken for me. Is this the one?
yeah, that's the one.
I made this for dinner tonight, swapping out the chicken for chickpeas to make it vegetarian (I'm not vegetarian but the husband and I are trying to do easy swaps when possible). It was delicious! And we have leftovers, which will only get better the longer they sit. I'm trying to decide whether to finish off my portion tomorrow or let it sit for a few days to really get good.
Thanks for the recipe!
Did you use precooked or dry chickpeas, and how many did you add? Sounds like something I'd love to try.
I used a big can (30 oz) of precooked chickpeas.
I definitively underuse mine, I mostly use it to make Sauerkraut, I just throw potatoes, Sauerkraut and some kind of meat in it and cook it for like 15 minutes.
I don't have a particular recipe for it, but pressure cooker ribs are great. Sure they won't have that smoked flavor, but for something you can complete in roughly an hour, it's excellent. It may be cheating a bit, though, since you should actually be finishing them on the grill.
The thing I actually have ended up using it for is 'baked' potatoes. Since the pressure cooking process doesn't toughen the skin, it actually becomes delicate and I find myself actually enjoying that part more than with any other method. It's also great for making mashed potatos; just cut them into pieces and throw in the ricer, no need to peel.
Pressure cookers also make good shortcuts for basically anything that needs braising or stewing. I've been told they're great for Indian cuisine because of it. Some time soon I want to try my hand at making a Chinese-style braised pork belly dish.
