    Tomatoey Parmesan Beans

    Tomatoey Parmesan Beans

    This sleeper hit of a weeknight dinner comes from Food Network star Molly Yeh's cookbook Home is Where the Eggs Are—and is basically a vehicle for Parmesan and garlic toast. No complaints! (The alternate version, with ham and cream, is excellent too.)

Even with its long ingredient list, this gingery curry comes together fast, thanks to pressure cooking. The recipe comes from Chicago author Anupy Singla, whose book The Indian Slow Cooker will soon have a companion title with recipes adapted for all sizes of multicookers. (See the slow-cooker version of this recipe.)

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.

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

Pressure Cooker Carnitas

Pressure Cooker Carnitas
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Your multicooker 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.

Beer-Soaked Brisket Sandwiches

Beer-Soaked Brisket Sandwiches
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

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