Tomato Curry Sauce

Have you mastered using your Instant Pot yet? Me, neither. But that’s okay, because I have a couple of cookbooks by Michelle Fagone, creator of Cavegirl Cuisine, that I refer to whenever I need some IP help. Her newest book, The “I Love My Instant Pot” Paleo Recipe Book: From Deviled Eggs and Reuben Meatballs to Café Mocha Muffins, 175 Easy and Delicious Paleo Recipes (“I Love My” Series), is perfect for those of you who are looking for paleo-friendly Instant Pot recipes.

Being that I am on the quest to eat more veggies this year, I started off by making Honey-Glazed Carrots. They came out sweet and tender. They were so good that even my husband loved them. Next up, I made Michelle’s Tomato Curry Sauce.

The Tomato Curry Sauce is made with a mixture of spices that give it a bit of an exotic taste with a little bit of heat. In addition to Michelle’s suggestions to serve it over cauliflower “rice,” seafood, or chicken, I think it would be great to eat at breakfast topped with fried eggs. (Think of an Indian version of shakshuka.) Fortunately, you can try Tomato Curry Sauce from The “I Love My Instant Pot” Paleo Recipe Book and decide for yourself how you would like to serve it.
