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.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ¼ cups water
8 ounces pearl (Israeli) couscous
1 teaspoon garlic base (such as Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base)
½ cup sliced portobello mushrooms

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Melt butter and add garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water, couscous, and garlic base. Stir to combine. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Fluff with a fork and add sliced mushrooms. Select Saute function and quickly stir the couscous for 3 to 5 minutes. The goal is to warm the mushrooms, but not to the point of softening.

This dish was delicious! The garlic and mushrooms were a perfect match for the Israeli couscous. I added a little extra lemon juice and it was perfect.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

Not bad, but not great either. The flavor was okay, but the couscous was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The garlic and mushrooms added a nice flavor to the couscous. However, I found that the cooking time was a bit too long and the couscous was slightly overcooked.

This dish was a disappointment. The couscous was mushy and the mushrooms were rubbery. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and mushrooms. The couscous was also a little dry.
