I have two recipes for you to try in your pressure cooker. Both were so good. The first is a Chicken Biryani. https://twosleevers.com/2017/03/pressure-cooker-chicken-biryani/ It was so spicy good. It had some heat just using 1 jalapeno. But so much of the flavor comes from the whole spices. I will definitely make this again.
The second recipe was Crispy Chicken for a Banh Mi Bowl. It was amazing! I even saved the leftover braising liquid. I had to substitute equal parts lemon zest and ginger for the lemongrass. I will try it with lemongrass when I find it but it was so good with the lemon and ginger. This dish would be great for meal prep. The chicken would be great on salad, wraps, sandwiches, just anything. Will keep making this one over and over. littlespicejar.com/chicken-banh-mi-bowls/2 -
I have kept the pickled veggies in a mason jar. I will warn you the daikon is pretty pungent smelling. But tasty! Honestly the chicken is the best part. So good! Even my sister who HATES leftover chicken loved it the next day. So much flavor.0

This came out amazing. Used chicken breasts I had frozen straight into the instant pot. High on 15 minutes. Then a serving under broiler until crispy. Loved it!!!! I will post a pick shortly.
That's too much work for me, man, lol.0 -
Oh wow what a great picture! Looks so good. I am so glad you enjoyed it. I wondered if it would work with frozen chicken. I am so glad it does. Thanks for trying it for us.0

Used my pressure cooker to make quinoa for this week's lunches. Didn't save any time really but was set it and forget it. 1 part quinoa rinsed and drained, 1 part chicken broth, High pressure 1 minute, natural pressure release. Worked really well and was nice and fluffy.

I also cooked dry chickpeas to make hummus. 2 cups chickpea, 3 cups water, bean button for 40 minutes, natural pressure release. This I thought might be a fail because they did not look like canned chickpeas. But they made a beautiful hummus. I ended up with over 6 cups of hummus, enough to share with my mom and sister for all our snacks this week. thriftylittlemom.com/2017/02/20/easy-homemade-instant-pot-hummus-recipe/0 -
Indian food is so great in the instant pot. Lots of people out there developing Indian recipes for pressure cookers. Two Sleevers is releasing a cookbook sometime soon. https://twosleevers.com/0

Sounds delicious! I love it for eggs. I too have made soy sauce eggs they are addictive.0

My first rib attempt. Rubbed them with Weber’s Coffee Rub and used one can of Miller 64 for the liquid.
Meat setting for 27 minutes. Then natural release for 10 minutes. My husband grilled them basting with a Guy Fieri bbq sauce. So easy. So quick. Tender. My new way to prep ribs! I can do two racks in the 8qt Duo instant pot.0 -
Yum! That combo of spice, liquid and sauce sounds amazing.0

It was soooo good.....0

I have not tried meatloaf. Do you mind sharing a recipe or how you do it?0

I will share, but you may have to adapt a few things as I am very much a 'wing it' kind of cook!! Plus, I am paleo, so I don't add grains or sugar. I have put asterisks and alternatives below for non-paleo people.
Meatloaf mixture
1 lb GF ground beef
1 lb GF ground pork
2.5 oz chopped onion
3 cups chopped fresh spinach
3 cloves chopped garlic
3 eggs
1 TBSP tomato paste
*1/4 cup tapioca flour or almond flour* (use panko if you are non-paleo, about .5 cup)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 TBSP worschestersire sauce
1 TBSP stone ground mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Sauce (this is random and to my taste--experiment away here!) Taste as you make it!
In a small bowl combine:
Sugar free tomato sauce (small can)
1/2 cup Sugar free bbq sauce
squirt of sriracha
salt
pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
Directions
Put trivet in instant pot
Pour 2 cups water (or broth) into bottom of pot
For the meatloaf mixture, mix all ingredients with hands until everything is incorporated.
In a steamer tray that fits inside the instant pot, line with tinfoil. You can poke random holes in
the tinfoil if you want the juices to drain but I don't as I think they help the flavor and can be
drained later from the tinfoil.
Form meatloaf mixture into tight shape and put into tinfoiled steamer tray.
Cover the meatloaf mixture with some sauce (leave some extra for later if you want to broil the top afterwards or if you want to serve it on the side). Place steamer with sauced meatloaf onto trivet.
Use the meat setting on instant pot (35 minutes). Quick release. Once done, check that internal is 160.
Remove, cover with remaining sauce and put under broiler for a few minutes to caramelize. Serve with any remaining sauce.
Note that I cut mine too early (should have let it rest a bit) so it fell apart (probably because I used tapioca flour as my binder) but I was SOO hungry that this is the best picture that you will get as I had to get some in my tummy! Also note that I drained all the seaping juices from the plate to make it look slightly better--definitely wasn't dry.

This is awesome! I had no idea where to begin and the fact that it is sugar free is a plus. I have been trying the zero sugar plan. Thank you so much! It sounds and looks delicious.0

This is great BUT some things should not be made in this. Meatloaf is one. You can bake one and have the proper crust etc. which instant pot wont do.
I'm with you. Not sure why people have to use the IP for everything.
Made this yesterday

It's tasty. Not sure why I end up having some weird texture issue with it though, like cheese or milk curdling during the last part?0 -

If you use evaporated milk, I use fat free, you don’t get curdling.....
I am living my Instant Pot because it allows long cooking foods to be finished quickly and with less loss of nutrients.
Each to their own though......1 -
I had to get pissed at myself to stop eating it after it was done. And then again when I made sure to portion and freeze this. Thats how good it was. Dead simple to make too and goat meat is sooooooooo cheap.
Can't even find it here, lol.0
