Instant Pot Israeli Chili (Mediterranean Lamb Stew)
Recipe Here!:
A huge thing that goes into my travel planning requires that the destination boast amazing foods to try. I'm not even kidding. Travel is love. Love is food. And Israel has some of the most flavorful food to offer.
So after spending ten INCREDIBLE days in the Holy Land, I was so inspired not only by the sights I saw and the friendships I made with some seriously amazing people, but, of course, the food as well!
And between all of the falafel, shawarma (gyro), hummus and salads I ate, I HAD to come up with something that was my own creation, but also took the flavors of this mystical land back with me.
After racking my brain on what to do, it all came clear to me to try something that fuses these flavors in a magical stew - a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern Lamb Stew, in fact! And I'll tell you, this creation of mine is so incredible, words can't even begin to describe the wondrous flavors and textures going on here. It's practically a rich Middle Eastern Chili rooted in incredibly flavorful spices!
Not only is this stew abundant and truly wonderful in the way it combines, it's a SNAP to make in your Instant Pot!

OMG! Italian Style Rich lamb stew with honey and caramelised onion
The best stew you will ever taste. This slow braising method fuses the ingredients together leaving you with an incredible tender, moist and rich flavoured meat.
Lamb is becoming a more fashionable red meat as it’s a healthier meat as it contains many vitamins, minerals and B12. Try and buy grass fed and it will also have the heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids.
But enough about health, this recipe is about taste. If you like those rich casserole stews, then look further, this is a complete meal cooked in one pot. The slow cooking process tenderises the meat and develops the flavour.
A complete meal because it has carrots, peas, potatoes all built in. The best part is that it will taste even better the next day, so make a big pot. It’s also easy to freeze for ready made meals when you’re short on time. I usually place them in glass storage containers and then microwave them or add a splash of water in a saucepan and reheat on very low heat.
For the wine, make sure you buy a full bodied wine, like a shiraz or cabernet sauvignon. Do not go crazy on the price but don’t skimp either, the quality of the wine will affect the sauce. It is a red wine sauce after all.
As an option, I like to serve it with a crusty toasted bread, rubbed with a clove of garlic for that extra flavour. This is of course optional. Sprinkle some freshy chopped parsley or you can even use the celery leaves to add colour and freshness before serving.

4-5 garlic cloves, grated
2 -3 carrots, peeled and diced
28 oz (794g) crushed tomatoes

1 and 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
For serving: finely chopped parsley, olives, feta, bread
Instructions
Place all of the ingredients except for the oregano in side of the instant pot and mix together. Add a cup of water or chicken broth.
Set the Instant Pot to High Pressure for 25 minutes. Make sure the vent is in the sealed position.
Allow the pressure to naturally release for about 15 mintes and then open the valve to release the remaining pressure.
Open the lid and taste the stew. Adjust the seasoning of needed. Remove the bay leaves and rosemary stem.
Add the teaspoon of oregano and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve with toasted bread and a salad.

Notes
Leg of lamb with the bone in is great for this recipe however boneless lamb works too. Use whatever you have. Beef is a good substitute.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 2 months.
