- SAUTE VEAL: Set instant pot to SAUTÉ function. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add half of the veal cubes and sauté on all sides for about 5 minutes to brown. Don't crowd pot. Transfer to plate. Repeat by adding 2nd tablespoon of oil and sautéing remaining veal.

CLASSIC ITALIAN VEAL SPEZZATINO
Veal chunks are stewed with vegetables until tender and flavorful. This classic Italian dish is less soupy than stews from other cuisines. Even though there are potatoes in the recipe, it is typically served alongside polenta or mashed potatoes. Leftover stew freezes beautifully.

VEGAN MOROCCAN STEW
This is what I have tried as an imitation of a 'Moroccan stew' I had at a vegan restaurant many years ago. I used to work down the street and had this probably twice a week for lunch, but now it's an hour and a half drive away, so I had to try to make it myself! I like to have mine over lentils that have simple wilted greens mixed in such as Swiss chard, kale, spinach, etc.
