Instant Pot Key Wat (Ethiopian Beef Stew)

I started with a recipe on how to make Key Wat in the Instant Pot from SpiceCravings.com. Key Wat is a lovely rich and spicy stew and makes a fun change from traditional beef stew. While it is traditionally served on Injera bread, I find it is also delicious served over polenta or rice. Serves […]

Instant Pot Low-FODMAP Beef Stew

I started from the Lazy Day Beef Stew from the The Rootitoot Cookbook, by Ruth “Rootitoot” McCusker. I changed the recipe a good bit to make it low FODMAP and then I simplified a couple of steps to make an even easier “dump” stew. This recipe can even be made with frozen beef cubes. Serves […]

Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid Potatoes

March 7, 2020 I often make roasted potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, and salt. When I serve them, I am always asked for the the recipe. I’ve made these potatoes in the oven and on the grill. There is nothing like a cast iron skillet to make these beautiful crispy potato bites. They do use […]
