I forgot to get ham or lamb for Easter on my trip last weekend to the grocery store. Well I decided to defrost some chops and try this. No cool fire setup but grill will have to do.

These came out great.





Also am I the only one drinking to much grain alcohol and citrus during this whole thing?

Can’t mess with Big Celery.

I sat at the stove and stirred this roux for an hour...

Loosely followed this recipe

Brown everything
I can only sear a little in the instant pot, so get the cast iron going too


After 45 min in the pressure cooker


Remove meat


Skim fat + remove aromatics, simmer, hit with immersion blender, add ruby port reduction, a little cornstarch, meat back in the pot


Eat

Hey Malucci, if you want to test drive your instant pot, I suggest doing what cs3 did.

I use it, what he did looks both phenomenal, and too labor intensive for me. I do not have very much kitchen space to work with unfortunately. I’m looking for very easy things to make with it that are still pretty good.

Decided to make the Ham a little more interesting this year. Rubbed it down in Dijon mustard with a little dusting of bbq rub and smoked it at 250 until IT of 125 and then gave it a glaze of brown sugar, cherry jam and whiskey and turned up the heat a bit.

Love the crust and flavor I got as I’m normally in the ham is boring category but this was solid

Durango, great looking ham.

I'm in the same boat as you...ham sounds good about once a year, around easter time, otherwise meh. Nice job dressing it up/changing it up.

I fell behind the last few days and dont want to clutter up the thread by quoting all the posts, so mega kudos to all, everything looks great and folks are eating well in this pandemic.

What a time to be alive, imagine having to endure the pandemic in the Victorian era where they didn't believe in washing their hands, no pain killers, there was no internet, movies, electricity, etc, etc

pardon my side bar but this is a fascinating listen, it'll make you so grateful to be alive in this time or at the very least happy you didn't have to live back then:

Made this for our New Year's black eyed peas. Was the best peas I've ever had. First time using an instapot we got for xmas. Did not include the collard greens.

Used the same ingredients pretty much for pinto beans and it was pretty damn good also, just had to cook a little longer.

1 cup flour 1 cup oil. Butter roux is not great for making dark because the milk solids burn.

Low heat stirring every couple minutes or MED high heat stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a whisk, took about an hour with a mix of the two techniques depending on what else I was working on at the moment.

That's commitment.
Good tip on the oil!

What type of oil? Assuming not olive?

I used "extra light" olive oil, probably don't want extra virgin olive oil but most refined oils would work.

Ideasinfood.com posted this pressure cooker roux recipe

https://blog.ideasinfood.com/ideas_i...-in-a-jar.html

and I want to try it next, but that recipe said 90 minutes for blonde roux and I didn't have time to do that, I'll post results if I do it.

Shredded the leftover short ribs and added a bit more tomato paste, beef broth + red wine to the liquid, then stirred in some heavy cream.



Threw the sauce over some pappardelle. Looked like dog poop and def doesn't make for pleasant pic, but man it was delicious. Richer and tastier than the original meal. Bummed I forgot to saute some mushrooms to throw in though.



This is why I love the instant pot. One cook made 2 meals for a family of four, plus dropped off a dinner for my parents, and still have enough left for a couple lunches.
