Chicken Shawarma

This Middle Eastern-inspired dish uses a spice blend called ras el hanout-if you can't find this at your grocery store, we tell you how to mix your own. Serve the quick-cooked chicken on pita bread rounds along with pickled vegetables and a lemon-yogurt sauce sweetened with just a hint of honey.Chicken Shawarma

Chipotle-Coffee Pot Roast

Espresso powder and ground chipotle pepper add zest to a meat-and-vegetable mixture cooked in your Instant Pot. If you like, make Creamy Polenta on your stovetop and serve the pot roast over the polenta-it's worth the extra effort! Chipotle-Coffee Pot Roast

Pressure Cooker Carnitas

Your Instant Pot turns boneless pork roast into tender, flavorful meat you can shred with a fork. During the last few minutes of cooking, heat corn or flour tortillas in a skillet (cast iron works well). Serve carnitas with toppings such as cheese, guacamole, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and sour cream.Pressure Cooker Carnitas

Beer-Soaked Brisket Sandwiches

You can make this tender brisket in either a slow cooker or your Instant Pot pressure cooker, but the time difference is huge-up to 12 hours for the slow cooker, and just two hours in the Instant Pot. Beer, onion, garlic and cloves flavor the dish; be sure to serve each sandwich with some of the cooking liquid for dipping.Beer-Soaked Brisket Sandwiches
