Cooking Method: Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

This Greek Lemon Chicken Soup is from the Silver Palate Cookbook, an old '80s standby. This is one of the cookbooks that inspired me to cook.

The most difficult part of the recipe is tempering the egg so it doesn't curdle. Otherwise, it's not much different from boiling rice and tossing in some lemon. But somehow, this soup tastes much more luscious and creamy than it has any right to be. It tastes good both hot and cold, but I prefer it hot. I have included 2 recipes, the Instant Pot version and the stovetop version.

This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is an easier version, that has bite-size pieces of chicken, ham, in a cheesy cream sauce and top with buttery panko breadcrumbs. You can make all in a pressure cooker / Instant Pot or on the stovetop. I have included both methods.

Instant Pot Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs

This recipe for Instant Pot Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs works really well in the Instant Pot. The beef gets fall-off-the-bone tender and has lots of flavor. I served it over a bed of Creamy Parmesan Polenta, but mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower would also be good. I have also included the oven method.
