A very comforting Lamb Stew with amazing flavors, pressure cooked in an Instant Pot. Serve it with rice, bread, couscous or even quinoa. It can be enjoyed on its own as a soup too.
I have been looking to buy new pressure cooker as I wanted to replace all of my aluminium cookers. That’s when I thought of investing in the very popular Instant Pot (IP) and I am so glad that I did. If you are not familiar with IP, it is a 7 in 1 multi use cooker. You can make yoghurt, steam, stew, cook rice, slow cook, sauté and of course pressure cook. After I got the IP it sat unopened for days as I felt intimidated to use it.
Then I went through a lot of Youtube videos and stumbled upon my favorite Zeinah Nur’s Instant Pot recipes video and found a meat stew recipe in that and I went for it. I did a few changes in the recipe as per our taste and according to what I had in my pantry and it turned out fabulous.
It is no surprise that I love the flavor of Mutton. I was never a mutton person when I was younger, but now I love mutton more than any meat. It has a distinctive flavor that beef or other meat doesn’t have and makes any dish taste unique. If you are a stew person or like curries without the red chillies, then this one has to get into your list of recipes to try. It is just so good. I can have this every week on repeat.
