CREAMY PEAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Add warmed broth, chicken, butter and soup to the Instant Pot, in that order. Do not stir.
• Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the chicken from the pot to a cutting board and shred.
• Meanwhile, rinse the inside of the lid with cold water. Add the noodles to the pot and stir to mix, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then perform a controlled release of the remaining pressure, watching out for any starchy spray.
• Return the chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Serve hot topped with chopped italian parsley and fresh cracked pepper (optional).

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook onion with the dry spices over a low heat for 5-6 mins until the onion is light golden. Add the chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min, then throw in the mixed vegetables and cook for a further 5 mins.
• Divide the mixture appropriately between two pans if serving vegetarians and meat eaters. Chop the chicken into small chunks and stir into one pan. Add the stock, dividing between the pans appropriately, and simmer for 10 mins (if only cooking the veggie version in one pan, use 300ml stock; if dividing between two pans, add 250ml to each). Divide the peas, if necessary, and add, cooking for 3 mins more until the veg are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove from the heat and stir through the yogurt and ground almonds, if using. Serve sprinkled with the toasted almonds and coriander, with basmati rice or naan bread on the side.
