Lentil Tacos
Lentils are a great meat replacement for ground beef. They are highly nutritious, have a similar consistency to ground beef and can be seasoned to suite almost any recipe. In this recipe we use Mexican spices to make a delicious, and easy, taco filling.

- Close and lock the pressure cooker lid then set the pressure relief valve to the sealed position.

- Once the timer has finished allow the pot to natural pressure release for 15 minutes and then open the vent to relieve any remaining pressure.
