    Instant Pot Lamb Curry. Where did that come from? Well, I was sitting around brainstorming as us food bloggers do. I look in the fridge and I’m like Oh yea, Lamb Chops. I had bought them at the store because they looked really good and the price was right. So I grabbed them. I buy the lamb shoulder chops because they are pretty versatile. You can grill them, pan fry them, braise them and in this case throw them into the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Originally this wasn’t my plan of what I was going to do with them but I am really happy with this recipe for lamb curry.

    I always try to come up with recipes most of the time that don’t use crazy unique ingredients. I like to have ingredients in the recipe that most people would have in their home. I mean the Instant Pot is pretty much all about simple and quick, but why not step it up a bit with this Instant Pot Lamb Curry Recipe. It is simple and can be ready in about 30 minutes of cook time.

    This Instant Pot Lamb Curry is totally delicious. The meat comes out very tender like is has been braising all day. This is why I just love my Instant Pot. Great food in a fraction of the time. This recipe is really simple and is almost a Dump Meal. You basically put all the ingredients in at once and hit a few buttons, but I like to do a little saute of the lamb and the onions for a few minutes. I think it brings out more flavor even though it isn’t a necessary step.

    This is the time of year to make this dish. It’s tasty and bold and great when the weather is starting to cool down. You can serve this over rice or even mashed potatoes if you prefer. No matter how you serve it take advantage of the sauce because it is thick rich and savory. This recipe is a straight-up dish of comfort food.
