- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 lbs lamb stew meat
- 1/2 yellow onion finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 (15-oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 (15-oz) can full-fat coconut milk *
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 2 tsp ground corriander
- 2 tsp ground cumin

- 5 ounces baby spinach
Instructions
- Plug in your Instant Pot and press the Saute button. Add the oil and allow it to heat up for a couple of minutes. Add the lamb stew meat and brown for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the meat has a nice sear on it.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for the spinach to the Instant Pot and stir well.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and select the Manual button. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, keeping the vent sealed. Allow Instant Pot to go into natural release (keep warm) mode for 20 minutes. Manually release any remaining pressure before opening the lid.
- Stir in the spinach and replace the cover. Allow curry to sit for a couple of minutes as the spinach wilts.
- Serve lamb curry with choice of steamed rice, coconut rice, or turmeric/saffron rice.
Notes
*Use 1 2/3 cups heavy cream instead of canned coconut milk if you don't need the recipe to be dairy-free.
