Equipment
- Trivet
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 4 lamb chops
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 cup warm water
Instructions
- Mix together the seasonings in a bowl. Pat dry the lamb chops and sprinkle the seasoning on both sides.
- Heat the Instant Pot on saute mode. Add the oil. When hot, add the chops and sear on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
- Turn off saute mode and transfer the chops to a plate.
- Pour in the water and deglaze the pot to remove the browned bits. Insert the trivet. Set the chops on the trivet. Lock the lid in place and set the valve to sealing.
- Pressure cook on high for 2 minutes. When done, do a quick pressure release and remove the chops to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can skip the searing step, if you don’t have time or don’t wish to. If you do skip this step, cook the chops for 4 minutes with a 5 minute pressure release.
- You can cook the lamb chops from frozen. You will skip the sear step, dust on the seasonings as well as possible, and cook for 7 minutes with a 5 minute pressure release.
