Instant Pot Frozen Pork Chops Recipe Ingredients:
- 750 g Pack Frozen Pork Chops
- ½ red onion
- 8 garlic cloves
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 200 ml white wine
- 1 Tbsp thyme
- salt & pepper
- 1 Cup couscous optional
Instructions
- Sauté ½ peeled and diced red onion in the instant pot, with extra virgin olive oil and peeled but not diced garlic cloves. Stir in thyme.
- Deglaze with white wine.
- Place frozen together pork chops in the instant pot over the wine. Pour over a cup of pork stock over the pork chops. Place the lid on the instant pot and cook for zero minutes. Use natural pressure release and remove the pork chops from the instant pot.
- Dice but do not peel your potatoes and load them into the instant pot.
- Load the pork chops back on top and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 3 minutes on manual pressure.
- Use QPR and remove the pork chops from the instant pot and load them onto dinner plates.
- Prepare your couscous. (see below recipe card for quick recipe).
- Using a hand blender mix the contents of the instant pot until you have a thick creamy potato sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve your pork chops with couscous.

Notes
- You can skip step #3 if your pork chops are not stuck together. Its just a quick zero minute cook to separate frozen pork chops.
- I recommend garlic cloves as they are just going to be blended later and they don’t burn as easily on a sauté. Plus, it saves you grating the garlic.
- If you are serving some of the potatoes for your dinner plate then I recommend adding ½ can of coconut milk to help thicken the sauce, otherwise it might be too watery.
