Best Lentils With Mushrooms In A Pressure Cooker Recipes

HOW TO COOK LENTILS IN AN INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Sauté onions and garlic: Select the sauté setting on an electric pressure cooker. Heat the oil until it shimmers but does not smoke. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Pressure cook: Add the lentils, water or broth, and salt. Cover with and lock down the lid. Pressure-cook for 15 minutes at HIGH pressure.
• Release naturally: Once the cook time completes, allow the pressure cooker to release pressure naturally; this takes about 10 minutes. Once all the pressure has released, turn the steam valve to release any remaining pressure. Remove the lid away from you. Taste the lentils and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.

LENTILS WITH MUSHROOMS IN A PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Chop the onion, celery, carrot, and mushrooms. Mince the garlic. Heat the olive oil and ghee in the cooker over low heat. Add the onions and garlic and gently cook for 2-5 minutes or until the onion becomes clear, but not brown. Add the mushrooms, celery, and carrot and cook for another 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are lightly sautéed.
• Add the lentils and broth. Lock the lid into place and cook at high pressure for 12 minutes. Allow the pressure to reduce gradually. When done, add the vinegar and salt to taste.
