Lamb is often underrated and underused meat in my experience. People are more likely to choose beef or pork - sometimes due to familiarity and other times due to price - but I always encourage folks to step outside of the box in the kitchen.

The Instant Pot makes cooking tougher cuts of meat or unknown foods a little less intimidating sometimes. Lamb can be a rather tough cut and take hours and hours of heat in the oven to reach tender perfection, but the Instant Pot usually cuts that time down to an hour or less. There are quite a few options for using lamb in recipes, and there's a little something for everyone here: stewing meat, ground lamb, bigger cuts like shoulder and leg, and simple lamb chops.

These unique and exciting Instant Pot lamb recipes will take you all over the world.

3. Instant Pot Lamb Curry 

Curry is always a good idea. You can get the best of both worlds with this insanely quick and super healthy recipe. This curry is packed with tender lamb, warm spices including a dash of garam masala, and lots of veggies. P.S. it's paleo-friendly if you serve it over cauliflower rice. Recipe from The Real Food RDs.

4. Instant Pot Lamb & Yogurt Stew 

If you've never made lamb and yoghurt stew or Shakriyeh, you're missing out. Fortunately, the Instant Pot makes it easier than ever to try new and exciting recipes. This stew is a staple in Syrian cuisine, and it couldn't be simpler to make with a rather short list of ingredients. Budget-friendly stew meat, yoghurt, and pine nuts are all you need to get started. Recipe from Tasting Table.

5. Moroccan Lamb Stew With Potatoes 

This stew or tagine is loaded with a hearty flavor inspired by the cuisine of Morocco. The keys to Moroccan cuisine are in the aromatic spices and often, the addition of dried fruit to lend a subtle undertone of sweet flavor to this stewed beef and potato blend. Add some carrots and peas, and you've got a colorful, hearty, protein-packed dish. Recipe is on the blog.

6. Instant Pot Irish Lamb Stew 

This stew lands us in lush, green, coastal Ireland where the potatoes are plentiful, especially in a stew. All that's missing is a slice of Irish soda bread, but you can probably make that in your Instant Pot too if you're a creative enough baker! Recipe from Stetted.

7. Rice Pilaf With Lamb, Almonds & Figs 

In this colorful and exciting pilaf, rice is tossed with ground lamb, luscious dried figs, and crunchy, nutty almonds for a burst of standout flavor and texture in every single bite. The rice itself is injected with flavor from being cooked in broth, perfectly fluffy and seasoned from the inside out. Get the recipe here.

8. Paleo Instant Pot Lamb Ragu

Ragù is a rustic, Italian meat-based sauce that is slowly cooked and typically made with wine and/or tomatoes. The ratios will differ, as will the types of meat used. This Lamb Ragu uses large chunks of lamb leg instead of ground meat. The result is a beautiful, rich, hearty sauce full of shredded, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Recipe from Cook Primal Gourmet.

9. Instant Pot Lamb Taco Meat 

Taco meat isn't just a recipe reserved for beef.

Burritos, anyone? Recipe from Sprinkles & Sprouts.

11. Instant Pot Brown Rice Biryani With Lamb 

Biryani is a spiced rice dish tossed with meat and other add-ins. It's always packed with a deep flavor that infuses every bite. This lamb biryani is particularly delicious, and can also be made with beef. It's a majorly economical dish too considering the main ingredients are stewing meat and rice. The rest of the magic is in the spices (and there are a lot of 'em!). Recipe from My Heart Beets.

14. Instant Pot Lamb Dhansak Curry 

This beautiful Dhansak curry is a little different from the traditional curry. It's even mild enough for the kids to enjoy.

Well, they're cauliflower! Recipe from Savory Tooth.
