Bigos, also known as Polish Hunter Stew is a traditional recipe from Poland. Bigos is a rich flavorful stew and it tastes better if it is cooked longer.
This time we are making it using the Instant Pot pressure cooker, means we save time and yet get a delicious result!
Can I use chicken?
Yes. You can replace the 1 lb of pork with 1lb of chicken, cut into cubes as well.

Could this recipe be made in a slow cooker? or in a dutch oven?
Add thickly sliced prunes to the mix before cooking for additional touch of sweet-sour flavour.
Oops, Sorry! My eyes totally missed the direction to cook the bacon in the beginning of the recipe 🙂
This recipe looks delicious! However, it doesn’t use any of the Instant Pot features except Sauté. It would be interesting to use the pressure cook function to see what sort of results you’d get...not to mention the reduction in cooking time.
Sure about that. I just added to full instructions with pressure cooking 🙂
It literally says cook on "high". That means u use manual pressure
