    it was very good. I used baby potatoes, and used a 6 minute cook time instead of 8. Everything was perfectly cooked.

    I made this tonight and it was beyond delicious! I made it with 500 grams of smoked garlic pork sausage, and I used baby potatoes cut in half. I added a can of sliced mushrooms since I had no fresh,and on a whim, I added one cup of frozen corn. It was so-o-o-o good. I think the balsamic vinegar gave it a real boost of flavour. Thanks for all your recipés and tips!

    I fixed this tonight for dinner and we both loved it. I did it the old fashioned way by peeling my carrots and potatoes but it didn’t take long. I’m sure to be enjoying the leftovers and will definitely make it again. I watch your videos and I’m able to get so much more use from my instant pot than I otherwise would have. It’s been a great help after a long work day to be able to cook a good meal in one pot quickly. I ordered your cookbook and can’t wait till it gets here!

    Can’t wait to try it? Could I use stew beef chunks? What kind of time should I add to it?

    Reply
    • Karen says

      April 29, 2021 at 1:39 pm

      You could use beef chunks but you’d want to cut them very small or pre-cook them before adding the rest of the ingredients. They usually take about 15-20 minutes to get tender. So you could cook them for 7 minutes, release pressure, add in the rest of the ingredients and then pressure cook for 8 more minutes.

    Made it again – doubled the basil (refrigerated paste some stores sell in a squeeze bottle – has bits of leaves, smells so fresh!), 6 oz. of mushrooms instead of 8 chopped very small so they aren’t really noticed but add flavor, more potatoes and carrots, and just one shake of Penzy’s oregano – will just omit next time. A big hit.

    It was yummy. Very easy and quick to make. The flavor of the potatoes reminded me of warm german potato salad. Balsamic vinegar wasn’t over powering. I’m not a fan of the mushrooms cooked like this ( a bit rubbery) so I may sautee and add at the end next time but that is just my preference.

      To eliminate the possibility of rubbery mushrooms I chopped them very small the second time I made this so they’re adding flavor without being a real presence, if that makes sense! Also used 6 oz instead of 8.

      You may want to try a different version of this recipe like the cajun one. Balsamic is really the main flavor of this dish. https://365daysofcrockpot.com/slow-cooker-cajun-sausage-potatoes-and-green-beans/

        You are soooooo right! I do the IP version of cajun sausage/taters/green beans at LEAST twice a month at this house. My hubby’s favorite!! HOWEVER, I only use 1 tsp of cajun seasoning & THREE tsps of McCormick’s Montreal Steak seasoning instead of the 4 tsp of cajun seasoning. But that’s MY tweak, everybody else may like the heat.

    “The hardest part of making this recipe is cutting up the potatoes.” Not hard yet always more time consuming than indicated in every recipe everywhere! LOL Add peeling/cutting onion, washing/slicing mushrooms, washing carrots (since 80 million articles say don’t count on them being washed well in a bag), or in my case peeling/cutting carrots since regular ones are more flavorful than baby carrots in ourl stores.

    I want to make this right now – love the idea of the balsamic – but don’t have smoked beef sausage and hadn’t heard of it, embarrassed to admit, but local stores have three types – all precooked. Thank you! On the list.

    Is there a reason why the oil must be added to this recipe?

    • Jax says

      February 7, 2021 at 11:07 am

      Yes. The olive oil gives all the ingredients a silky, luxurious mouth feel. It tempers the vinegar. And it is good for your heart, brain and skin.

      Without good fat your joints, bones and cartilage dry out. Your whole body suffers. Fat keeps you full longer so you eat less. Fat is your friend.

        Holy cow. This may be my all time favorite IP recipe of yours, Karen. The flavors are so layered with a bit of zing. Delicious!

        30 minute prep, only changes were using basil paste (refrigerator section) for the first time, which smells so fresh, and bits of leaves are in it. Just a shake of oregano because I don’t like it. Used baby carrots though they look dried out in the bag. (Many baby carrots are cut from larger carrots, though they should say “baby cut” in that case. But often don’t.)
        And for those who don’t like mushrooms, I’d suggest still adding them and just avoiding eating them if you really don’t want to. They help the rich broth.
