Step 1

Set Instant Pot to Sautée mode and allow to preheat.

Step 2

Meanwhile, rinse leg of lamb and pat very dry with paper towel. Cut into 2" chunks and season all sides with a bit of kosher salt.

Step 3

Add avocado oil to preheated Instant Pot and brown all sides of the lamb in batches. Transfer browned meat to bowl and set aside.

Step 4

To the Instant Pot, add onion, celery, and carrot - season with a pinch of salt. Sautée vegetables until softened (approximately 10-12 minutes). Be sure to scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pot.

Step 5

Add garlic, rosemary, oregano and bay leaves and season with 1 tsp of freshly-cracked black pepper. Sautée an additional 60 seconds.

Step 6

Return browned meat to the Instant Pot and add tomato passata and chicken stock. Give everything a stir and cook on Sautée mode until the sauce comes to a simmer. **Note: this will help reduce the time it takes to seal the Instant Pot and Initiate the timer.

Step 7

Close the lid, set the pressure release valve to the 'Sealing' position and program the Instant Pot to Manual Mode, High Pressure for 60 minutes. **Note: You can also use the 'Meat/Stew' mode with High Pressure for 60 minutes.

Step 8

After cooking time has elapse, depressurize manually, and switch back to the Sautée mode to reduce the sauce. As the sauce reduces, use a pair of tongs and a fork to shred the meat in the pot.

Step 9

Reduce sauce to desired consistency (I like it thick and chunky), taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as required. Note: If you reduce the sauce too much, simply add a little bit of stock to reconstitute.

Step 10

Serve over Cauliflower Polenta or Zucchini Noodles.
