Instant Pot® Garlicky Mushroom Israeli Couscous image

This quick side dish is cooked in the Instant Pot®. Feel free to add in Parmesan cheese if desired, but it's amazing on its own! I don't add salt or pepper, as the ingredients seem to have enough flavor on their own.

Instant Pot® Ground Beef and Israeli Couscous image

This a really quick, filling dish that's great for weeknight meals and is ready in about 40 minutes. Use Israeli couscous (also called pearl couscous or giant couscous); instant couscous won't work with this recipe. Serve with a garden salad, if desired.
