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.
Thank you! I agree, I think it would work well if you pressure cook it for just 5 minutes. Please let me know how it turns out if you try it that way!
