Instructions
Vegetables: Add all the chopped/diced vegetables into the inner pot of the IP.
Lentils, Tomatoes & Seasonings: Add the lentils, tomatoes, stock, salt & pepper and Involtini spice or your preferred soup/stew seasoning. Add the Worcestershire Sauce, tomato paste and taste/adjust the seasoning before sealing the IP.
Seal the Instant Pot: Turn the lever to SEAL and press HIGH PRESSURE and cook for 20 minutes. Please note: The IP will take roughly 20 to 30 minutes to start cooking (it's dependent on the amount of liquid in the IP).
Release The Pressure: Let the instant pot release pressure naturally, meaning that you do nothing for about 10 minutes allowing the pressure to simmer down naturally. Thereafter, carefully turn the lever from SEAL to VENT which will then force the remaining pressure out. The pin will drop and you can now safely open your instant pot.
Serve with fresh greens, herbs, bread or a dollop of yogurt and enjoy!
