You mentioned add wine in your directions but there NO wine listed in your ingredient list wondering what to do???
I must have forgot to add it… fixed. Thank you very much for your reminder :]
It’s 1/2 cup red wine btw.
1/2 cup red wine..says in the ingredient list..recipe.
Wanted to add a protein to this dish. Could I use some diced chicken breasts or thighs perhaps?
Surely, you can add ½-¾ cup of the cooked and chopped chicken immediately after opening the instant pot.
I’m fairly new to the world of the instantpot. Can this recipe be cut in 1/2?
no mention of salt!
In my opinion the recipe is salty and doesn’t need addition salt.
But I got your comment so I added “salt to taste” to the recipe.
Can I use white wine or no wine at all? Can the vegetable broth be replaced with chicken broth?
Yes to both– you can definitely use white wine and chicken broth instead of veg broth. If you decide to use no wine at all, just replace it with an equal amount of broth to keep the total amount of liquid the same.
