Join the discussionSo has the meat been cooked in the IP? If so, how’d you do it? I’m new to IP and would love to maximize it however I can. This recipe sounds wonderful.
Hi Christine,
I just finished making this. I sautéed the meat first. After the meat is cooked you put it back in the IP with the rest of the ingredients listed in the recipe and cook the zucchini roll-ups.
I’m wondering if 7 minutes to cook the zucchini is too long. I cooked quartered potatoes for 8 minutes. I’m afraid they’ll turn to mush. So I’ve frozen them separately and will heat them in the microwave with the sauce. I’m thinking it will be enough cooking time for them.
Sandra nailed it. Yes, the meat is cooked first. To saute would work well. Enjoy!
The sodium level is way too high. Serving Size: 1 serving = 4 rolls and 1 cup of sauce equals 1674mg Sodium. How can the sodium be cut in half? Most seniors cannot have more than 2000 mg for a WHOLE day and if they have blood pressure issues the amount of sodium is restricted to 1500 for the WHOLE Day.
Use fresh diced tomato, Himalayan salt and change meat to ground turkey.
Yum!
Oh man this dish is delicious. I think next time I will spiralize the zucchini into noodles, it was too hard to cut them. Then layer the cashew sauce between the zucchini and the meat sauce. Was sooooo good. Thank you!!!
