Vegan Instant Pot Lentils and Rice with Rutabaga

Vegan Instant Pot One-Pot Lentils and Rice from The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot

I’ve been sick for the past few days and that’s no fun at all. But at least having an Instant Pot can make it a little better. A girl still has to eat and Lentils and Rice with Rutabaga is a good one to make when you don’t have the energy to stand in front of the stove.

You can make this even less hands on by substituting onion powder and granulated garlic so you don’t even have to saute anything. Just dump in all the ingredients and about 1 teaspoon each of the onion powder and granulated garlic and cook on the pressure cooker setting.

The recipe is from my new book, The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot. If you already have a copy of the book, please do me a favor and add a review for it on Amazon. It can even be one sentence, but it can make a huge difference in sales. Thank you!

Vegan Instant Pot One-Pot Lentils and Rice

Some winter nights are so cold it’s hard to tear yourself away from the fire to make dinner. This is the recipe you need to make. It’s hearty, filling, and uses staples from your pantry. Plus, there’s only about 10 minutes of hands-on time, then you can go back to the couch and curl up under a throw until it’s ready to eat. Not cold where you are? This is still a winner because it takes so little effort to make!

You don’t have to use rutabagas, but if you’ve never tried them I think you will be amazed at how delicious they are in this dish. You could use any root veggies though, including potatoes.

    This looks yummy! I am new to the Instant Pot way of cooking and heard about you through Chef AJ who has your recipe book (mine is on the way). For this recipe could you substitute basmati rice without having to change the cooking time? Thanks! Anita~

      If it’s brown basmati it should work fine!

      It would be alot different to make in a slow cooker. Look for a slow cooker jambalaya recipe and sub out the veggies and spices in this recipe.

    We made this, and followed the recipe without any changes. We thought it was healthy and hearty, but very blah, almost like unseasoned rice and beans (despite what seemed like a lot of marjoram). We do plan to try it again, but we’ll add more of the rutabaga/onion/lentils, cut the veggies in larger chunks, and probably use something with more heat than black pepper.
