Ingredients
Utensils
- Instant Pot (option 1)
- Stockpot or Dutch (option 2)
- Slow cooker (option 3)
Instructions
Brown the meat by setting Instant Pot to "SAUTE" and adding extra-virgin olive oil to the pot.
Once shimmering, add meat and mix up with a wooden spoon until browned after 5-8 mins.
Once liquid released from the meat has mostly been absorbed, add chopped onions and minced garlic.
Mix for a minute or so until the onions are soft. Season with sea salt.
Add the cubed root veggies and herbs, and mix again.
Season with all seasonings and pumpkin purée, continuing to mix well with the spoon so it's coating everything.
Add bone broth over top and finish off with 2 bay leaves.
Seal the Instant Pot and set to "meat/stew" for 20 minutes.
Allow it to naturally release for at least 10 minutes and serve when ready!
Don't have an Instant Pot? You can make it on the stovetop or in your Slow Cooker too!
Option 2 - Stovetop: Follow the same directions as Instant Pot, except: Instead of using 2 cups bone broth, use 3 cups and simmer it in a partially-covered stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat for 1 hour or until the flavors meld.
Option 3 - Slow Cooker: Use a pot on the stove to do all the sautéing, before transferring everything to the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 6-8 hours.
