Instant Pot Instructions

Push the keep warm/cancel button.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, close the valve to "Seal" and push the manual button, then set the timer for 15 minutes.
When the pot is done, do a quick pressure release and then use the saute feature to cook off the excess liquid.
Serve garnished with fresh coriander/cilantro and chopped spring onion.
Pressure Cooker Instructions
Peel and chop the onion and garlic.
Then chop the capsicum and tomato into a fine dice.
Pour the olive oil into the pressure cooker and add the ground beef/lamb, chopped onion, garlic and capsicum.
Place over a medium heat and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the chopped tomato and all the seasonings, stir well.
Lock the lid onto your pressure cooker and bring the cooker to high pressure.
Reduce the heat to stabilise the pressure and then cook for 13 minutes.
When the time is done, do a quick pressure release and then place over a medium heat and cook to evaporate off excess liquid.
Serve garnished with fresh coriander/cilantro and chopped spring onion.
Notes
You can sub in a tin of chopped tomatoes for the fresh ones, but you will have to evaporate more liquid off at the end of pressure cooking.
