CHAPTER 1
Hearty Beef, Pork & Lamb
Whether you're celebrating the day's events or craving shelter from life's storms, a warm, deeply-flavored meal at the end of the day can provide so much comfort. Hearty, meaty dishes are the kind of food my family turns to when we need stick-to-the-ribs nourishing food or just a meal that is sure to please. My family rarely dines out, so the dishes we prepare at home are made with care for a fine dining experience within the walls of our own home.
I love these meals because they instantly take me back to special times, celebrations or gatherings. The Traditional French Cassoulet is one of those classic meals. It makes me think of dinner parties, where it's served family style to "oohs" and "ahhhs." I'm also crazy about the Bacon & Gruyère Crustless Quiche Lorraine and the Sweet & Tangy "Baked" Ham. The quiche takes me back to the little French cafés that my mom and I frequented that served fancy quiches. The ham brings to mind holiday celebrations and family gatherings.
Sweet Grapes & Tarragon Pork Chops
Pork and fruit are meant for each other. Plain and simple. Slightly bittersweet tarragon and sweet juicy grapes add a fresh flavor to this quick and easy meal.
PREP TIME: 25 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 42 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 67 MINUTES | YIELD: 4 SERVINGS
5 tbsp (72 g) grass-fed butter, ghee or avocado oil, divided
1. Add 2 tablespoons (29 g) of healthy fat of choice to the Instant Pot and press "Sauté." Once the fat has melted, add the pork chops, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of sea salt and brown for about 3½ minutes per side (you might have to do this in two batches depending on the size of the pork chops). Remove, transfer the browned pork chops to a plate and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of healthy fat of choice to the Instant Pot and add the grapes, sautéing until the grapes are lightly caramelized and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the grapes and set aside with the pork chops. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons (29 g) of healthy fat of choice, onion, garlic, tarragon, thyme and the remaining ½ teaspoon of sea salt, sautéing for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button. Add the honey, apple cider vinegar and bone broth and give it a good stir. Add the browned pork chops and ladle some of the liquid over the top. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the steam release valve is sealed. Press the "Meat/Stew" setting and decrease the time using the "-" button until you reach 25 minutes.
2. When the Instant Pot is done and beeps, press "Keep Warm/Cancel." Using an oven mitt, "quick release"/open the steam release valve. When the steam venting stops and the silver dial drops, carefully open the lid.
3. Plate the pork chops and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with the caramelized grapes, onions, tarragon and some of the cooking liquid.
Traditional French Cassoulet
This traditional casserole originated in the south of France. It's a rich, hearty dish full of beautiful meats and creamy white beans. The beans are soaked prior to cooking for better nutrition and easier digestion.
INACTIVE PREP TIME: 24 HOURS | PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 35 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 65 MINUTES | YIELD: 6-8 SERVINGS
SOAKED WHITE BEANS
FRENCH CASSOULET
1. To soak the beans, add the dry beans to a large stock pot along with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and a pinch of baking soda. Fill the stockpot with three times more water than beans (3 cups [709 ml]). Bring to a light simmer on the stove, then remove from the heat, cover the pot and let the beans soak for a minimum of 8 hours, but preferably overnight for 12 to 24 hours. With a spoon, remove any bubbles or scum that floats to the top. Drain and rinse the beans in a colander, making sure they get rinsed very well.
2. Add 2 tablespoons (29 g) of healthy fat of choice to the Instant Pot and press "Sauté." Once the fat has melted, add the chicken and sausages, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of sea salt and brown for about 2½ minutes per side (you might have to do this in two batches). Remove the browned chicken and sausages, transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and remaining sea salt, sautéing for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly caramelized. Press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button. Add the drained and rinsed soaked beans, browned chicken and sausages, cooked crispy bacon, parsley, carrots, sun-dried tomatoes, whole tomatoes and bone broth in that order. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the steam release valve is sealed. Press the "Poultry" setting, then increase the time using the "+" button until you reach 23 minutes.
3. When the Instant Pot is done and beeps, press "Keep Warm/Cancel." Allow the Instant Pot pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. Using an oven mitt, "quick release"/open the steam release valve. When the steam venting stops and the silver dial drops, carefully open the lid.
4. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped Italian parsley and a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
Provençal Green Olive Tapenade Leg of Lamb
The homemade tapenade, paired with this tender lamb, is incredible. The lamb is already amazing with lots of fresh herbs and garlic, but with the salty, flavorful tapenade it is out of this world.
PREP TIME: 35 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 46 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 81 MINUTES | YIELD: 4 SERVINGS
LEG OF LAMB
3 tbsp (43 g) grass-fed butter, ghee or avocado oil, divided
GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE
1. Add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of healthy fat of choice to the Instant Pot and press "Sauté." Once the fat has melted, add the lamb, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of sea salt and brown for about 3 minutes per side. Remove the browned lamb to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons (29 g) of healthy fat of choice, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon of sea salt, sautéing for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button. Add the bone broth and give it a good stir. Add the browned lamb, making sure it's submerged and some of the liquid has been ladled over it. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the steam release valve is sealed. Press the "Meat" setting for 35 minutes.
2. While the lamb is cooking, make the tapenade. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until everything is roughly chopped, but not fully puréed. Set aside.
3. When the Instant Pot is done and beeps, press "Keep Warm/Cancel." Using an oven mitt, "quick release"/open the steam release valve. When the steam venting stops and the silver dial drops, carefully open the lid.
4. Plate the lamb and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with a generous amount of green olive tapenade.
Bacon & Gruyère Crustless Quiche Lorraine
Quiche Lorraine was my mom's all-time favorite quiche, so it holds a special place in my heart. Named after a region in France, Quiche Lorraine is a classic. With a creamy custard filling, this tantalizing quiche is stuffed with crispy bacon, salty ham and two buttery cheeses.
PREP TIME: 25 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 27 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 52 MINUTES | YIELD: 6 SERVINGS
2 tbsp (29 g) grass-fed butter or ghee, plus more for greasing dish
1. Add butter to the Instant Pot and press "Sauté." Once the fat has melted, add the onion, garlic and thyme, sautéing for 7 minutes until lightly caramelized. Press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button.
2. With butter, grease a 1½-quart (1.5-L) casserole dish (I use one with a glass lid) that fits inside the Instant Pot. Set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together until the eggs are fully incorporated. Add the sea salt, ham, bacon, ¾ of the cheese and the onion-herb mixture, gently stirring to combine. Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish. Place the glass lid on top of the casserole dish. Place the Instant Pot trivet inside the Instant Pot. Pour 1 cup (237 ml) of water into the Instant Pot. Carefully transfer the covered casserole dish into the Instant Pot on top of the trivet. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the steam release valve is sealed. Press the "Manual" setting and decrease the time using the "-" button until you reach 20 minutes.
3. When the Instant Pot is done and beeps, press "Keep Warm/Cancel." Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes. Using an oven mitt, "quick release"/open the steam release valve. When the steam venting stops and the silver dial drops, carefully open the lid.
4. Carefully remove the casserole dish from the Instant Pot and remove the lid from the dish. Next, add the leftover cheese to the top of the quiche and either place the dish back in the Instant Pot for about 3 minutes to melt the cheese, or place it under a preheated broiler in the oven for about 3 to 5 minutes to brown the cheese.
5. Serve hot or warm.
Greek Stuffed Bell Peppers
These Greek-inspired bell peppers burst with refreshing flavors. They're packed with herby aromatics, delicate jasmine rice, sweet juicy raisins, zesty lemon, and creamy Mizithra and feta cheeses, with perfectly steamed bell pepper in every bite.
PREP TIME: 25 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 22 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 47 MINUTES | YIELD: 4 SERVINGS
2 tbsp (29 g) grass-fed butter, ghee or avocado oil, plus butter for greasing dish 1 small yellow onion, diced 4 fresh garlic cloves, grated or finely minced 1 lb (454 g) grass-fed ground beef or lamb 1 cup (186 g) cooked jasmine rice 1 pastured egg 2 tsp (11 g) tomato paste 1¼ tsp (4 g) sea salt Zest of 1 lemon ½ cup (12 g) chopped fresh mint 1/3 cup (10 g) chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus more for garnish 1/3 cup (48 g) raisins ¾ cup (75 g) grated mizithra or parmigiano-reggiano, plus more for garnish ½ cup (75 g) crumbled feta cheese 4 red bell peppers, tops removed and seeded 1 cup (237 ml) water
1. Add healthy fat of choice to the Instant Pot and press "Sauté." Once the fat has melted, add the onion and garlic, sautéing for 7 minutes until lightly caramelized. Press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button.
2. With butter, grease a 1½-quart (1.5-L) casserole dish (I use one with a glass lid) that fits inside the Instant Pot. Set aside.
3. To a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, cooked rice, egg, tomato paste, sea salt, lemon zest, mint, parsley, raisins, cheeses and onion-garlic mixture. Gently mix until everything is combined. Evenly divide and stuff the meat filling into the bell peppers. Transfer the stuffed bell peppers to the casserole dish. Place the glass lid on top of the casserole dish. Place the Instant Pot trivet inside the Instant Pot. Pour 1 cup (237 ml) of water into the Instant Pot. Carefully transfer the covered casserole dish to the Instant Pot on top of the trivet. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the steam release valve is sealed. Press the "Manual" setting and decrease the time using the "-" button until you reach 15 minutes.
4. When the Instant Pot is done and beeps, press "Keep Warm/Cancel." Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 15 minutes. Using an oven mitt, "quick release"/open the steam release valve. When the steam venting stops and the silver dial drops, carefully open the lid.
5. Carefully remove the casserole dish from the Instant Pot and remove the lid.
6. Serve the stuffed peppers topped with freshly grated mizithra or parmigiano-reggiano and freshly chopped parsley.
Sweet & Tangy "Baked" Ham
My Tiny Love and husband really love ham, so I'm always looking for ways to make it special for them. I admit, ham isn't always my favorite, but sweet and tangy "baked" ham, well, now we're talking! This shredded ham is crazy good and it's always a crowd (or little hands) pleaser.
PREP TIME: 25 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 63 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 88 MINUTES | YIELD: 10-12 SERVINGS
3 lb (1.4 kg) half-cut cooked boneless ham, cut into large 2" (5-cm) chunks (not spiral)
1. Place the ham chunks in the Instant Pot. Cover with the water and apple cider vinegar. If your ham isn't fully covered, add more water and apple cider vinegar, being careful not to exceed the max fill line. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the steam release valve is sealed. Press the "Meat/Stew" setting and increase the time using the "+" button until you reach 33 minutes.
2. When the Instant Pot is done and beeps, press "Keep Warm/Cancel." Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 15 minutes. Using an oven mitt, "quick release"/open the steam release valve. When the steam venting stops and the silver dial drops, carefully open the lid.
3. Carefully remove the ham chunks and pull apart into shredded pieces. Pour the cooking liquid out of the Instant Pot and discard. Add the shredded ham back to the Instant Pot. Add the maple syrup, honey, mustard, thyme and cinnamon and stir to combine, making sure all the ham gets coated. Place the lid back on the Instant Pot, making sure the steam release valve is sealed. Press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button and increase the time with the "+" button until you reach 30 minutes. After it has warmed for 30 minutes, press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button again to turn off the Instant Pot. Use an oven mitt to open the steam release valve just for safety. The silver dial should already be dropped, but it's still important to carefully open the lid.
4. Pour the ham into a shallow dish and allow the juices to set up and absorb into the ham.
5. Serve the ham hot or cold.
Gruyère & Ham Potatoes au Gratin
There's nothing like a beautiful meal of layered potatoes with lots of nutty gruyère and aged cheddar, studded with green onions and bits of salty ham with a garlicky cream sauce. The Instant Pot makes cooking Potatoes au Gratin so easy.
PREP TIME: 25 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 50 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 75 MINUTES | YIELD: 6 SERVINGS

2. With butter, grease a 1½-quart (1.5-L) casserole dish (I use one with a glass lid) that fits inside the Instant Pot. Layer the potatoes, green onions, ham and cheeses (reserving ¼ cup [28 g] cheese mixture for the top) repeating until finished, making sure to
cheese mixture for the top) repeating until finished, making sure to leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space at the top of the casserole dish.
