Bringing together the #1 diet and the #1 most popular kitchen appliance, this Instant Pot-authorized cookbook makes it more convenient than ever to cook the Mediterranean way, incorporating more vegetables, grains, beans, and seafood into your diet, and exploring the healthful, authentic flavors of cuisines ranging from Turkish to North African in everyday one-pot meals.

Made in the Instant Pot, succulent meals such as Chicken Tagine, Lamb Meatballs with Couscous, Pickled Onions, and Tahini, Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto, and Gigante Bean Soup with Celery and Olives become hands-off affairs for the busy cook. The Instant Pot also takes the waiting game out of cooking dried beans and sturdy grains so it’s easy to enjoy them more often. And vegetables get star billing, both as main dishes (Braised Whole Cauliflower with North African Spices), and sides (Marinated Artichokes and Baba Ghanoush). Recipes embrace the tenets of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, translating its less-meat-and-more-vegetables approach into vibrant, healthy one-dish meals that take the guesswork out of balancing portions and multiple dishes. Most recipes are ready in under an hour. And full nutritional information is provided.

What Does It Mean to Follow a Mediterranean Diet?

Following a Mediterranean diet has been proven to be one of the healthiest ways to eat. The Mediterranean Sea is surrounded by an extraordinarily diverse group of countries, which means that there isn’t a single ‘diet.’ Rather, the Mediterranean diet is about what these cuisines have in common: a daily emphasis on fresh vegetables and fruits, beans and lentils, whole grains, seafood more than meat and poultry, and olive oil.

North African Cuisine

Chicken with Lentils and Butternut Squash

Rich, tender chicken with stewed lentils and butternut squash is classic North African fare. The brightness from the leafy green herbs and the subtle sharpness from the shallot tied the whole dish together and provided a nice contrast to the braised earthiness of the lentils.

Italian Cuisine

Sicilian Fish Stew

Many Sicilian dishes exhibit the strong influence of Arabic cooking through the use of dried fruits and nuts, including tomato-based fish stew, which, with its balance of sweet, sour, and salty notes, is common in the region.

Israeli Cuisine

Couscous with Chicken, Fennel, and Peppers

In this Israeli-inspired dish, we seasoned some ground chicken with slightly sweet fenugreek and floral cardamom and sautéed it in the Instant Pot, creating a fond in which we cooked fennel and toasted pear, or Israeli, couscous.

Greek Cuisine

Spiced Winter Squash with Halloumi and Shaved Brussels Sprouts

Golden-crusted salty halloumi and velvety, sweet squash are a marriage of opposing textures and flavors. Halloumi is a brined cheese originally from Cyprus, with a semifirm, springy texture, and its high melting point allows it to retain its shape when cooked.
