Instant Pot All Purpose Onions Recipes

INSTANT POT BUTTER BAKED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel the onions. Slice just enough off the root end that the onion doesn't tip. Scoop a hole about 1 inch deep into each onion. Place a bouillon cube and one piece of butter into the cavity of each onion, and wrap each one in foil.
• Place the wrapped onions, on a trivet, into the Instant Pot. Add 2 cups of water, and then put the lid on your pot. Make sure the knob is set to sealing, and set the timer for 30 minutes.
• When the pot has done it's magic, manually release the pressure and use tongs to take the onions out of the pot. Serve warm.

INSTANT POT CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Add onions, butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl of a multicooker; stir to combine. Secure the lid and adjust vent to seal. Cook on high "Pressure Cook" setting for 5 minutes. Once cycle is complete, immediately release pressure. Carefully remove lid.
• Strain onions and discard excess liquid. Return onions to multicooker. Cook over high "Saute" setting, stirring constantly, until onions are deeply golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

INSTANT POT PORK LOIN WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Stir to combine the brown sugar, dill, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork loin.
• Set a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® to medium saute (see Cook's Note) and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork loin and brown all over, turning with tongs, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate. Add the onions and carrots and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, thyme and sage. Stir to coat the vegetables in the tomato paste. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and return to a simmer. Tuck the bay leaf into the sauce and nestle the pork loin in the middle (it will not be covered by liquid).
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Remove the pork to a cutting board.
• Return the sauce to a simmer on the medium saute setting. Mash the butter and flour into a paste with a fork in a small bowl. Whisk into the simmering sauce and cook, whisking, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Discard the bay leaf and stir in the parsley. Thinly slice the pork and serve with the sauce.

GREEN ONION GARLIC NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Place bread flour in a bowl. Add salt and baking powder and give it a good whisk until evenly combined.
• Add in Greek yogurt gently, followed by garlic and green onions. Take a wooden spoon and slowly start mixing everything together. Keep mixing, stirring, and pressing until a shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer dough to a work surface and use your hands to press dough together. Knead for a few minutes until dough becomes elastic and a little bit sticky. Add a bit more flour as necessary but try to keep extra flour at an absolute minimum. Knead until dough is a little bit stretchy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Wrap in plastic and allow to rest on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Take a bench scraper and cut into 6 equal pieces. Take 1 portion and roll into a ball. Place onto a generously floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out nice and thin, about 1/8 inch or less. It's ok if the naan is not a perfect circle. You will need extra flour for rolling out as the dough is sticky, but try to use as little as possible.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Transfer dough circles into the hot dry skillet and cook until little bubbles form on the surface and the underside is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Flip naan over and cook for 1 more minute. Press down slightly with a spatula to increase the heat during cooking. Flip over twice more and cook for an additional 15 seconds per side, but make sure not to overcook to preserve the texture. Naan should still be flexible when you remove it from the skillet onto a plate.
• Cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm and moist while you cook the other naan breads. Stack all 6 naan breads on top of each other and keep covered with a kitchen towel.
• When you are finished cooking all 6 naan breads, unstack breads and brush the first naan bread on both sides with a little bit of melted butter. Stack second piece of naan on top and only brush the top side. Keep stacking and buttering all the naan breads. Fold each naan into a triangle and serve.
