1 14-ounce can pears, drained (fresh pears work, too)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the sauce: Pulse pears, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar until mostly smooth. Reserve half for later use (see notes).
2. Cook the meat: Trim any fat off the meat and cut into a few large chunks (it will shred, but cutting the meat helps it cook faster). Place in an Instant Pot and cover with half of the sauce. Cook on high pressure (manual) for 45 minutes. Release steam and shred the meat in the Instant Pot with two forks.

Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken

• 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
• 2 Tbsp. ghee
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. Whole30 mayonnaise
• 2 12-ounce bags frozen cauliflower rice
• salt
• pinch turmeric if desired
• 1 head romaine lettuce shredded
• 1 cucumber diced
• 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
• 1 bunch green onions sliced thin
• 2 avocados peeled, seeded, and diced before serving
• Whole30 ranch dressing for drizzling
• celery sticks for garnish

Equipment Needed

• Instant Pot
• meal prep containers

Instructions

1. If you do not have an Instant Pot, see Note for alternate directions for chicken using a slow cooker.
2. Make your shredded chicken: combine chicken breasts, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, ghee, and salt in the pot of an Instant Pot. Do not add water. Secure lid and cook on Manual, high pressure for 20 minutes. Quick release pressure and remove chicken breasts from the pot. Shred with two forks then return to pot. Add in 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and cook on Sauté mode a few minutes until sauce is absorbed.
3. Put frozen cauliflower rice in a saucepan with a lid and place over low heat. Cook until thawed and cooked through, seasoning with salt. Add a pinch of turmeric for color, if desired, and stir very well to combine. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble your meal prep: evenly divide all ingredients among 4-6 meal prep containers. Spoon cauliflower rice into 1/3 of each container, place romaine into 1/3 of each container, then place chicken in other 1/3. Top with tomatoes and cucumbers, then sprinkle with green onions. Serve with freshly diced avocado, cucumber sticks, and plenty of Whole30 Ranch dressing.

Recipe Notes

If you do not have an Instant Pot, make chicken in a slow cooker instead of an Instant Pot: In the pot of a slow-cooker, combine chicken, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, ghee, and salt. Do not add water. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or cook on high for 4 to 6 hours. After about 3/4 of the time, shred the chicken breasts with two forks then add 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise. Stir to coat and let the chicken cook for a few minutes longer, or until sauce is absorbed.

5. Instant Pot Lentil Curry

Easy, creamy Instant Pot Lentil Curry. Amazing Indian flavors, not too spicy, healthy, and vegan! One pot recipe that's completely hands free

Ingredients

•  1 1/2 cups lentils — green or brown
•  1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
•  1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water — divided
•  1 small shallot — finely chopped
•  3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
•  2 tablespoons minced garlic — about 6 cloves
•  1 tablespoon curry powder — plus 1 teaspoon
•  1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar — or brown sugar
•  1 teaspoon kosher salt
•  3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
•  1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper — use more for more spice or omit if sensitive to spice
•  1 can light coconut milk — (14 ounces)
•  2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice — about 1/2 large lemon
•  Cooked brown rice — for serving
•  Chopped fresh cilantro — for serving

Instructions

1. Rinse and drain the lentils, then set aside. Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add the coconut oil. Once the oil has melted, add 1 tablespoon water, the shallot, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until very fragrant and the shallot is soft, about 2 minutes. Add the curry powder, coconut sugar, salt, turmeric, and cayenne and stir vigorously. Stand back and try not to breath in any of the steam coming from the pot (it’s spicy!). Add the lentils, coconut milk, and 1 cup of water. Stir to coat the lentils completely with the liquid.
2. Hit cancel to stop the sauté function, seal the lid, then set to cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes. (It will take about 8 minutes for the pressure to build, then the timer will begin.) Once the timer has stopped, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then vent to release the pressure completely. Open the lid and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. If the curry is too thick, add a bit more water to loosen as needed. Serve hot with rice, sprinkled with cilantro.

Recipe Notes

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days or freeze for 2 to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator. The lentils thicken as they cool, so to reheat, sprinkle with a little water, vegetable or chicken stock, or coconut milk, then rewarm gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding more liquid as needed.
• I do not recommend using red or yellow lentils in the Instant Pot, as their texture is more delicate and they tend to fall apart.
• To make on the stove: Cook the lentils (you can use any kind of lentils you like). In a separate large, rimmed skillet, sauté the shallot, ginger, garlic, and spices as directed over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add the coconut milk and coconut sugar. Let simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in the lemon juice and cooked lentils.

INGREDIENTS

Salmon:

• 2 (5- to 7-ounce) salmon fillets (Notes 1-3)
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro (Note 4)
• 2 teaspoons hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

INSTRUCTIONS

• Make Sauce: Stir all sauce ingredients together with spoon in small bowl until well-mixed. Set aside at room temperature to let flavors develop while you prepare salmon.
• Prepare Salmon: Pour water into pressure cooker pot and place steam rack within (Note 5). Optionally, spray rack with nonstick oil spray (Note 6). Place salmon fillets side-by-side on top of rack; if skin-on, place them skin side facing down. Evenly season tops of fillets with salt and pepper.
• Cook Salmon (Note 7): Secure and seal lid to pressure cooker. Select steam mode at high pressure. For fresh salmon, set cooking time to 3 minutes. For frozen salmon, set cooking time to 8 minutes. After pressure cooking (as soon as timer beeps), perform quick pressure release to avoid overcooking fish.
• Serve (Note 8): Uncover pot, and use spatula and/or tongs to carefully transfer salmon to serving plates. Give chili lime sauce a quick stir, and spoon over salmon fillets. Serve immediately.
