Share your favorite instant pot recipes with me?
Oh! How could I forget. My favorite thing to do in the IP is curry. SO EASY. Here are my notes about how to do that. If you need clarification about anything, just ask, since this is more a notes thing than a recipe thing.
Instant Pot Curry #2 - I changed things up a bit from last time and it was AWESOME. Definitely a keeper and easy to vary with different curry pastes/powders and finishing liquids (e.g., tomato sauce vs yogurt/coconut milk) and meats/veg/beans.
Here's how it went:
Melt fat then sauté onion, meat, curry paste/powder. (I used butter, two chopped up onions, 3-lb chicken cut into bite sized pieces, 4T curry paste, 1T curry powder.) Sauté until onions start to soften a bit, meat starts to brown, and everything is well coated in spice.
Add about 1 cup of liquid. (I used water the first time. This time I used a can of coconut milk.)
Cover, do the pressure thing for 8 minutes. 4 minutes natural release followed by quick release for chicken. 8 minutes pressure and straight to quick release for other meats.
At this point I switched it back to sauté and stirred in a bag of frozen peas (maybe 10 ounces?) and a cup of yogurt mixed with 1T of cornstarch to ensure the sauce would be thick. I sautéed until the sauce just came to a boil and then served it.
We all enjoyed this a LOT and it was quicker and easier than the normal curry method which involves lots of simmering and time. A++ would cook again.
