SIZZLING HOT POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Set oven to 350*F or mark 4.
• Toss the chicken joints in the seasoned flour. Melt the butter in a frying pan and brown the chicken until golden all over.
• Place the joints in a large caserole dish and add the potatoes.
• Put the garlic, onions, bacon celery and mushrooms in the pan you browned the chicken in and cook for a few minutes. Add the remaining flour and stir well. Add the stock gradually, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add the herbs and paprika and check seasoning.
• Pour over the chicken and potatoes.
• Add the bayleaf, cover and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
• Remove the bayleaf and garnish with the parsley.
• Serve with carrots.

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and liquid smoke in a bowl. Toss oxtails in the mixture until well coated.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Allow to heat up. Add vegetable oil to the hot pot and lay oxtail pieces inside, flat side down. Brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of beef broth into the pot to deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add carrots, onion, green onions, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper. Stir and saute until onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Add oxtails, remaining beef broth, ketchup, and thyme. Cancel Saute function.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 20 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove oxtails and vegetables from the pot, leaving liquid behind. Select Saute function and bring liquid to a simmer. Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into the simmering liquid. Add pinto beans and simmer until liquid is slightly thickened and beans are warmed, about 5 minutes. Add oxtails and vegetables back to the pot, and mix to combine.
