Gourmet Food on a Budget
Carne Guisada for the Instant Pot brings a hardy dish that is perfect in cold weather as a stew. It is great for the summer for tacos or to use as a meaty sauce for enchiladas. What usually takes two to three hours in a Dutch oven takes about 35 minutes in the Instant Pot.
Garlic Bread is easily made in the air fryer and will be the best garlic bread you have ever eaten. Its crunchy, garlic, and cheesiness is hard to resist.
Mediterranean Burgers are my take on Luleh Kabob, only formed into burgers. They have a distinctly Mediterranean flavor that goes perfectly on the grill.
These gorgonzola burgers are part of my series on Pub burgers. What may look like a lot of fat is Gorgonzola cheese. Gorgonzola cheese is very similar to blue cheese. However, it’s a little lighter in flavor.
Barbeque burgers made with a special sauce and cooked on a cast iron grill taste like they just came off the backyard barbecue.
Habanero Cheddar pub burgers are not for the faint-at-heart. But, if you like spicy food, this might just be the burger for you!
Air fryer turkey taquitos are much healthier than those fried in oil. Leftover turkey can be spiced exactly how you like it.
Garlic Studded Ham with Cherry Glaze in the Nesco is my take on the wonderful specialty ham studded with garlic with a peppery bite to it. If you have not had it, I encourage you to find it and have it. In the meantime, please make this and wow your family and friends. Once you have had this style of ham, you won’t go back. Roasting it in a Nesco electric roaster makes it even easier without drying out.
Cioppino-Style Shellfish Stew with cod, scallops, shrimp, and clams is based on the venerable San Francisco classic. Serve it with crusty sourdough bread to soak up the delicious soup. This soup makes an excellent choice for Palm Sunday or Christmas Eve dinner if you want something pescatarian-based.
Your Instant Pot makes this rich and creamy risotto with chicken, gorgonzola, and pistachios in about 15 minutes.
