I missed my usual ham, green beans and potatoes when green
beans first come on. By the time I thought of it my produce wagon where I get
my corn said their green beans were done. I had some of the Kennebec home grown
potatoes left so went looking for green beans.
Another produce stand was out of them, said a lady bought
all he had yesterday. My butcher didn’t have any ham steaks out so I got 3 nice
smoked pork chops that would do. I found dome nice looking green beans at Wall Mart.
Past years I did this meal in my Crockpot but I used my
Instant Pot today. I cleaned the green beans; pealed some of the bad spots from
the potatoes and cut into chunks. I sautéed the chops to get a little brown in
the pot and added chicken stock to deglaze then placed the chops on some sliced
onions. I added in the potatoes and then the green beans, some salt and pepper.
I poured what was left of the chicken stock in, about 2 cups total. I set the pot on manual for 15 minutes.
I like my Instant Pot the more I use it. I like the way it
shows lapsed time after the timer has runout and it is on warm hold. Normally
after pressure cooking it takes about 15 minutes to dissipate the pressure.
Tonight we were hungry so after 5 minutes I eased off the pressure manually to
open and serve.
We had some English muffins & butter with the meal. It was
very good; chops were fall off the bone tender all tasted like it had simmered
4 to 5 hours in a Crockpot. I can see using my Instant Pot a lot this winter
for some good comfort food! I liked how I could sauté the chops right in the
pot and keep the good flavors all in the pot. This also meant no skillet to
clean.
