Instructions

1

Brown Lamb and Saut Onion

Start by tossing the lamb with the flour in a bowl until it’s well coated. Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting and heat the oil until it’s shimmering. Add the lamb and brown it on all sides, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Then, stir in the chopped onion and cook until it softens, around 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.

2

Add Herbs and Pressure Cook

Next, add the mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Secure the lid, set the Instant Pot to manual pressure cook for 20 minutes, and let it come to pressure naturally, which usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Once done, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method before opening the lid.

3

Add Veggies and Cook

Add the potatoes, carrots, and peas to the stew. Close the lid again and cook on manual pressure for another 10 minutes. When the time’s up, do a quick release and open the pot.

4

Thicken the Stew

If the stew isn’t as thick as you like, mix a little cornstarch with water and stir it into the pot. Then, set it to cook for 5 more minutes on manual pressure, finishing with another quick release. Give everything a good stir, and it’s ready to serve.
