HAYSTACK COOKIES WITH PEANUT BUTTER RECIPES

Steps:

• Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with wax or parchment paper. Coarsely chop 3/4 cup roasted salted peanuts.
• Place 1 (11-ounce) bag butterscotch chips, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring vigorously with a rubber spatula halfway through. If not completely melted, microwave in 20-second intervals, vigorously mixing between each, until the mixture is mostly melted with some lumps, 1 to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, melt the ingredients together in a double boiler over low heat, then transfer to a large bowl.)
• Add the peanuts and 12 ounces fried chow mein noodles. Stir until the mixture is well-combined.
• Scoop 2 heaping tablespoon portions of the haystack mixture onto the baking sheets, about 20 per sheet. Let sit until the haystacks harden and set, 40 minutes at room temperature or 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine Marinade Mixture ingredients. Add lamb shanks and coat well. Set aside and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Once 30 minutes have elapsed, add 1/4 cup olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
• When oil gets hot, brown the meat on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add onion, carrots, bay leaves and remaining marinade to the pot and Sauté until onions are soft, 4-5 minutes.
• Add wine to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot, then simmer and reduce by half (about 10 minutes).
• Add warmed broth and return the meat to the pot, turning once to coat.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , 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 30 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release (about 15-20 minutes).
• Carefully remove the meat from the pot and cover loosely with foil, reserving juices.
• Strain liquid and return to pot, discarding solids. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water. Stir into the pot until thickened, returning to SAUTÉ mode as needed.
• Serve lamb topped with gravy alongside mashed white or sweet potatoes, noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped parsley.
