Instant Pot Cheesy Southwestern Lentils & Brown Rice
Everyone is obsessed with Insta Pots these days! Maybe I need to jump on the bandwagon. As always, your recipes look delicious, Erin!
Thanks so much Catherine!
I don’t have an Instapot so can’t benefit from those recipes, though I saw lots of my friends seemed to have gotten one for Christmas so it definitely seems to be a huge trend and subsequent demand for recipes! I always like when you have your vegetarian side dishes as I’m always looking for fun twists and new combinations of flavors!
Thanks Pech – I’m definitely down to experiment with more veggies!
YES on Instant Pot recipes and YES to vegetarian ones! I got an Instant Pot last summer and was so afraid to break it out until Christmas break. I made your Pho for my first recipe and was AMAZED (except I got the wrong kind of noodles, so I’m trying an asian market today). Then I made Southwestern Lentils AND Red beans and rice. AMAZING. Thank you!!
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipes Molly! More Instant Pot recipes coming soon!
I really wish I had an InstantPot on hand – maybe later this year. Lots of comfort food on your list, which makes sense – 2017 was a rather trying year for many people. That pumpkin risotto with goat cheese really caught my eye – what a gorgeous looking dish! I can almost feel how creamy it is with my mind’s tastebuds.
