Instant Pot Chicken Stew

Whole30, Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free

If you know anything about me by now, it’s probably that I have a real love affair going with homemade chicken broth. For some reason, I find it almost drinkable with a straw. Maybe that had something to do with me going head-over-heals for the invention of the Instant Pot? Homemade chicken broth has never been easier. And let me tell you… there’s nothing else like it that will elevate your soup recipes to the next level! So I often create recipes like this Instant Pot chicken stew that use a whole chicken. The best part about starting with a whole chicken is that there’s no broth to prepare before hand; as the chicken cooks, it produces incredibly flavorful homemade broth. All the possible flavor, cheapest possible price, and nothing goes to waste!

Pressure Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage

Instant Pot Corned Beef / Pressure Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage | The Foodie Eats

Pressure Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. I make it a point to have corned beef and cabbage every year. This will be the third year I’ve made pressure cooker corned beef and cabbage. It was literally the first thing I ever cooked in my Instant Pot, after it sat in the box for 2 months post-Christmas. Well, my life was never the same. And I will never go back to the darkness. Who knew that two years later, I would have written over 100 Instant Pot recipes?!

 

Here’s a look at my old way of cooking this dish

Pressure Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage - The Old Way | The Foodie Eats

One of my favorite tools in the kitchen is my Dutch Oven. It’s basically a cast iron pot with a ceramic lining. But as you can see, the meat has already started to take on a grayish color. And while it still tastes great, it is not nearly as appealing to look at; or tender for that matter. And let’s not even get started on the time!

 

And here’s a picture of the first time I cooked it in the IP!

The Process

uncooked corned beef brisket

Place brisket in pot (fat side down)…

…with broth, onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and seasoning packet. Lock lid and cook at high pressure for 75 minutes.

Instant Pot Vegan Potato Soup

I’m not exactly sure how this happened. But somehow and some way, this Instant Pot vegan potato soup has a “meaty” flavor. Now, that is not the point – to have food taste like meat. But when eating a strict plant-based diet, I’ll take any meaty flavor I can get! And, additionally, is actually more of a potato-vegetable chowder than a soup.

The Process

diced onions, carrots, and celery

Using sauté setting – Add oil, onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes (until onions are translucent and carrots begin to soften).

Ratatouille Frittata – Whole30, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Posted on January 13, 2019
ratatouille frittata in pan on wood board

Ratatouille Frittata

Our family has decided to do the Whole30 diet. So you know what that means… Time to get creative with the food! Over the years I’ve found that the only times I’m successful with dieting is when I make a concerted effort to make delicious food. So here’s one of my weekend creations – a delicious ratatouille frittata!

 

I Cannot Lie to You…

This recipe requires a good amount of work. Not difficult work. But it just takes some time to make this dish look stunning. But, sometimes it’s worth it for that “Wow!” factor – which this delivers, both with appearance and flavor! I highly recommend getting a high-quality v-blade mandoline slicer. We’ve owned several over the years, but the one pictured above has proven to be worth the investment.

You’ll Notice a Difference

Traditional ratatouille contains eggplant. I don’t really like eggplant. Well, unless it’s breaded, fried, and covered with cheese and sauce. So, for this dish, I decided to switch it out for potatoes. It worked. I mean, it really worked!

The Process

mandoline with sliced potatoes

Using a mandoline, thinly slice potatoes…

 

thinly sliced potatoes soaking in water

…and place them in cold water.

 

mandoline with sliced zucchini

Also using a mandoline, slice zucchini, squash, and tomatoes. Set aside.

 

thinly sliced potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash in ratatouille pattern

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In 10-inch nonstick skillet – arrange zucchini, squash, potatoes, and tomatoes in an alternating circular pattern…

…around outside of pan.

Then make an inner circle going the opposite direction.

Place skillet uncovered in oven for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl – combine eggs and 2 tsp. of salt. Whisk well.

 

thinly sliced potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash in ratatouille pattern

…until juices have evaporated (about 15 minutes).

Once juices are evaporated – gently add eggs to skillet…

…and allow to settle for about 30 seconds.

Instant Pot Fajitas Salad

It’s not always fun to eat light and healthy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t taste great while doing it. At least, that’s our philosophy! The idea for this recipe came during a season while eating a Whole30 diet. So we took one of our favorite foods and put it on top of a salad! These Instant Pot fajitas chicken and veggies are everything! The chicken is seasoned perfectly and the veggies are crisp tender and not overcooked. I’m pretty sure we’ll be eating this later in the year topped with cheese and sour cream, rolled in a flour tortilla!

Instant Pot Vegetable Soup

Sometimes you just need to remove all the bells and whistles and let food be what it is. I feel this is especially true when it comes to vegetables. I often find that vegetable soups have too much going on. And personally, when I’m in the mood for vegetable soup, I kinda want it simple. So that’s what we’ve done here with this Instant Pot vegetable soup. We did break tradition just a bit by adding baby leafy greens at the end just to boost the veggie content. I just grabbed a bag of baby kale mix and threw it in at the end.

Instant Pot Paella with Cauliflower Rice

I can hear the skeptics already. But trust me when I tell you… This Instant Pot paella is amazing. The flavors, the textures, the colors – it all works! The cauliflower is NOT mushy (which happens so often with cauliflower “rice”).

The best part about this recipe (in my opinion) is it’s versatility with different dietary needs. Whether you’re doing Paleo, Whole 30, gluten-free, or dairy-free – this recipe is good to go!

Instant Pot Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

There’s something special about the combination of savory, salty flavors and sweet potatoes. That’s why we often combine them with salty flavors, like the Parmesan cheese in our sweet potato shepherd’s pie. And these dairy-free, gluten-free stuffed sweet potatoes are the perfect blend of savory and sweet.  Savory Italian sausage, leeks and garlic, and sweet apple cider and sweet potatoes, come together in a healthy dish that feels like comfort food. And, when made with Whole30 compliant sausage, this recipe is perfect for Whole30!

Italian Sausage Soup with Turnips and Butternut Squash for Instant Pot

Instant Pot Italian Sausage Soup

with Turnip Greens and Butternut Squash

I cook a lot. I mean a LOT!! And every now and then, something completely catches me off guard. I knew I wanted to develop a soup recipe that tasted really good, but it also needed to be Whole30 compliant since we’re starting a round in a few days. Well, I was totally blown away at how delicious this Italian sausage soup turned out. Seriously blown away!

While eating my third bowl, in one sitting, I figured out why. It was hitting all of my favorite palette points. It’s very savory, slightly spicy (if you use a spicy sausage), and slightly sweet (because of the apple cider). It’s a special soup.

 

Here’s a link to our Whole30 compliant Homemade Italian Sausage!

Instant Pot Boiled Peanuts – Cajun and Dill

Posted on December 28, 2018
boiled peanuts in Instant Pot with sliced pickles, jalapenos, and olives.

Instant Pot Boiled Peanuts

I don’t think people around the world eat boiled peanuts. I mean, we eat them like crazy in the south! But I’m not even sure anybody else in America really eats them – which is shocking to me because they’re so delicious. Peanuts are not nuts at all; they’re legumes (aka beans). So it makes perfect sense to boil them, right? Well, these Instant Pot boiled peanuts are my gift to all you.

 

This particular recipe was developed after I recently tasted some at a Florida flea market that blew my mind! I had never heard of using a dill brine, but it quickly became my favorite way to eat  them. The flavor is WAY more interesting than just pure cajun spice.

The Process

Once cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally. Then let the peanuts sit for as long as you can stand it! I’ve made these several times and recommend cooking them at night and letting them sit overnight on the “keep warm” setting. Before you stir them, carefully remove the crab boil seasoning packet. They rip pretty easily.

Recipe Notes

I’ve made these several times and recommend cooking them at night and letting them sit overnight on the "keep warm" setting. 

If you use a full teaspoon of cayenne, the peanuts will be very spicy. Reduce amount of pepper if you prefer less spicy food.
