Preparation

Step 1

Turn on the instant pot and press SAUTE. Pour in the oil.
Cut the onion in half and slice thinly. Slice the leek. Place them into the inner pot and saute on high until translucent (about 3 minutes)

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs well with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and brown them on each side. Add water + Guinness and cook for 7-10 minutes before adding carrots cut into chunks.

Step 3

Lock the lid and turn the steam release valve to SEALING. Press MANUAL and adjust the time to 5 minutes (high pressure).
When the cooking is finished, wait 5 minutes before pressing CANCEL/KEEP WARM AND releasing the pressure manually.

Step 4

Press SAUTE. Mix cornstarch with little water and a tablespoon or two of the hot liquid (your Guinness sauce) before adding this to the pot. Stir. The sauce will thicken in a few seconds.
Stir in peas and ketchup and let it cook for 1-2 minutes before turning it off.
