Inside: A collection of my favorite lectin free Instant Pot recipes. If you’re trying to eat for gut health or following a Plant Paradox based diet, you’ll love this great list of pressure cooker Plant Paradox friendly recipes!

There are many reasons people follow a Plant Paradox diet, as described by Dr. Steven Gundry.

For some, weight loss is the underlying goal.

Others, (myself included) are searching for relief from autoimmune disorders and joint pain. And some people are looking to improve their bio markers and blood work.

Whatever the reason, starting a new style of eating can feel overwhelming. And I’ve been there. Over the past several months I’ve gotten a great repertoire of lectin free recipes collected and I think it might help others who are starting out.

And today, I’m excited to share my favorite lectin free Instant Pot recipes with you!

First things first. What’s an Instant Pot?

An Instant Pot is a brand name for an electric pressure cooker appliance. This multi-cooker home appliance has soared in popularity in the last few years. As it allows you to quickly cook flavorful meals without needing to turn on a stove or grill, it’s easy to see why.

Dr Gundry on using an Instant Pot for Lectin Free Recipes

Dr. Gundry especially promotes using an pressure cooker to increase the types of foods you can use, like tomatoes or beans.

It’s also great for people who are very sensitive to grain fed chicken as it’s extremely difficult (and very expensive!) to find pastured chickens that have been fed zero grains.

Dr. Gundry also shares that by pressure cooking chicken, many of the harmful lectins are removed, which makes it easier on your gut biome.

This is fantastic news for those of us who feel the effects lectins have on our swollen, painful joints!

Which Pressure Cooker Should I Buy?

There are a lot of options on the market these days. And while the Instant Pot is hands down the favorite (Dr. G recommends this brand for lectin free cooking), they can be a bit expensive.

If you choose to go with an Instant Pot – you will have several models to pick from.

If you are cooking primarily for 1 or 2 people, you might be able to get away with the Instant Pot Mini – the smallest option available.

Even if you’re cooking for 2, you might want to size up the Instant Pot Duo 7 in 1 model if you’d like to do batch cooking, or are interested in cooking a whole chicken.

And for larger families – the Instant Pot Ultra 8qt is the biggest option.

If you’d like to save some money, a Tayama TMC60XL or Mueller 10 in 1 have good reviews on Amazon and seem to work just fine.

Additionally, if you have a stove top pressure cooker laying around (here’s one I remember my mom cooking with), that will work too. While the new electrical models are more convenient and have added safety features, if you already have an older model in the house, you are good to go.

Once you’ve decided on the the model and type of pressure cooker you’d like to purchase, you might want to pick up a few key accessories to make it easier on yourself.

I personally have the Instant Pot Duo 7 in 1, so these are the accessories I love and use the most often.

My Favorite Instant Pot Accessories for Lectin Free Cooking

  • Extra sealing rings. I love this set because it gives you color coded rings – one to use for savory and the other to use for sweeter or more delicate meals. (The rings will sometimes retain the scents of what you are cooking so it’s nice to have separate options)
  • A steamer basket. These are great for steaming fresh vegetables in large batches! The legs on this basket keep the vegetables out of the cooking liquid so they don’t get soggy.
  • A hardboiled egg stacker. This model is fantastic because you can quickly hard boil a week’s worth of eggs. Eggs hard boiled in a pressure cooker are the BEST. The shells practically fall off themselves and they are perfectly cooked every time!
  • Silicone egg molds are a great accessory to have on hand. You can make all sorts of delicious egg bites or mini crustless quiches with these.

My Favorite Lectin Free Instant Pot Recipes

I wanted to share some of my favorite lectin free Instant Pot recipes with you. These are all pretty simple and great for beginners. If a recipe calls for a non-compliant ingredient, I’ve noted it and offered phase 2 and 3 substitutes. I’ve also tried to list the ingredients up front so you can quickly scan through and see if you have everything you need on hand.

Instant Pot Whole Chicken, Rotisserie Style

One of my favorite lectin free pressure cooker recipes is for a juicy whole chicken, cooked with the flavors and crispy skin of a rotisserie cooked chicken.

Even better, this recipe make a delicious gravy at the same time! I love shredding the leftover chicken and adding to a nice vegetable soup or mixing into a salad.

The only change I make to this recipe to make it completely “Plant Paradox” compliant is to substitute the cornstarch for equal parts tapioca or arrowroot to thicken the delicious gravy.

Ingredients: Chicken, paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, turmeric, ground pepper, thyme, avocado or olive oil, fresh onion, celery, lemon, stock, cornstarch* (sub with equal amounts of arrowroot or tapioca to make it compliant)

You can find the recipe HERE.

      Just buy one! Doesn’t have to be the current “best” one. Like many folks you will probably end up owning more than one anyway. I’ve seen used ones for low prices. Pity the poor ones who do not understand the kitchen miracle that they are disposing of! Are you old enough to remember the crock pot/slow cooker revolution? This is even bigger and includes the slow cooker function.

    I also saw that tomatoews and chicken became almost lectin free on pressure cooking! Jus ordered your recommended pot, thanks! Can you answer 2 questions: Can you also get lectins out of pork or beef if grain fed by pressure cooking? Does pressure canning tomatoes work just as well as pressure cooking them to remove lectins? Thanks so much my wife and are thrilled with he P Paradox diet and love your website!

      Hi Tom! The lectins in tomatoes are mostly found in the skins and seeds, so removing those will help (no need to pressure cook) however some people with autoimmune disease are highly sensitive and may not be able to add tomatoes back into their diet.

      I’m not sure about grain fed beef and pork in the pressure cooker, although it would make sense if it works for chicken it would work for beef. That said, the problem with conventional meat is that it is full of omega -6, and this is going to cause more inflammation in the body. Grass fed beef is easier to find than pastured chicken, so it would make sense to purchase grass fed beef. It IS more expensive, but Plant Paradox encourages less meat consumption, so a little grass fed beef goes further.

      Thanks for the kind words about the site – so happy that you and your wife have found success with PP!

    Hi – thanks for all your information! I am working on having a lectin free diet for inflammation and also helping a friend of mine who has gone through chemo with the lectin free diet. We are doing pretty good and have done a lot of our own creating of recipes- anxious to try some of yours! One problem is that we come across so much conflicting information on differences sites! It is frustrating! I have a pressure cooker so have made chili which we love. One thing we are wondering about is winter squash and pumpkin? Are they ok if we cook them under pressure? And what about chia seeds? One place says yes and another no!!😖 we have made a hemp cereal with them in for muffins- should we not be doing that? Any info will be appreciated and I will be signing up for your information here!

      Hi!
      It’s definitely frustrating with all the different information. As it’s still a relatively new field of research, changes seem to pop up often. I think you should do the best you can and just listen to your body. Some people are more sensitive than others. In general, pressure cooking removes some or most lectins (but not in all cases – for example, pressure cooked wheat does not remove lectins)

      I think the best thing is to do the best you can, and see how you feel. Some people can add in pressure cooked basmati rice and peeled and seeded tomatoes in phase three, and some can’t. You should listen to your body. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
