There’s nothing better than a home-cooked Arabic dish. But the reality is not many of us have the time to create these dishes on a daily basis. That’s why an Arabic instant pot recipe is exactly what you need. I’m always on the hunt for an easy Arabic recipe so putting together this list was just what I needed.
Whether you have an instant pot already and are looking for new recipes or it’s something that you’re considering adding to your kitchen arsenal it will become a favorite tool in no time. I often use a regular pressure cooker to make these as well, just with a bit of added time.
