    This dish looks simple and I like I can throw everything into a pot and wait for 20 mins to cook. The vege and meat all in.

    The stew looks delicious and I’m surprised on how easy it is to make and how much time it saves from making it the conventional way, on the stove. I have experimented only with slow cookers before, never with an instant pot.
