Chicken mole


This recipe came from America's Test Kitchen. It was pretty easy to make but it still took over an hour because of the number of cooking steps. Bloom spices, simmer 5 minutes, blend. Cook chicken for 25 minutes with 15 minutes natural pressure release. Add red peppers, simmer 10 minutes. While the peppers were cooking, I shredded the chicken. It turned out this wasn't long enough to really fall off the bones. It could have done with 5-10 minutes longer. 

The picky daughter didn't like it. I thought it was ok, but it could have used some more heat, maybe more chipotle or some cayenne. Wife and son thought it was great.

Tonight was butter chicken again. The recipe called for saving half the sauce for something else. Last time I left it in the fridge and never used it. This time I poured a can of corn into the leftover sauce. My wife and kids enjoyed this option. Other options apparently are tofu, vegetables, paneer. I like the idea of making something different with the same sauce.

Ground beef coconut curry and spinach, from the Indian Instant Pot cookbook . It came out delicious--rich, spicy, full of veggies. I tried to sell it to the family like an Indian beef luau. My son and wife enjoyed it, but my daughter (who loves beef luau) did not buy this comparison. She ate leftover beef luau from last weekend.
