Notes
- You can use any vegetable that doesn’t have a mushy texture when overcooked. The easiest option is frozen sweetcorn and frozen peas, but you can mix and match.
- I used mixed peppers and any bits and pieces you have of coloured peppers is fine. Its also okay if you used just green or just red.
- I recommend this brand for healthy bone broth and soup based stocks to use in the instant pot. They are much healthier, but best of all they make your food taste so much better and give a much better pressure cooker flavour.
