I got to go to up to 7 ingredients and I'm counting the four mandatory veg as one ingredient (1 cup each of carrot, onion, celery and 1 tablespoon of diced garlic) that I call mirepoix.
African ground nut stew:
10 chicken thighs
4 cups of mirepoix
Large can of diced tomatoes
Can of tomato paste
Cup of chicken stock
2 cups of mushroomsHigh pressure for 28 mins
Stir in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened peanut butter to thicken
If you want to make it 8 ingredients then add hot sauce to taste. -

Do you eat meat? Big hunk o' pork is one of the favorite meals of my kids. Salt the meat then broil or sear it in a pan. Put it in the slow cooker. Use broth, water, or wine to deglaze the pan and pour that over the meat.
Cut a couple of garlic heads in half horizontally, you don't have to peel them. Toss them in.
Pour in the rest of the bottle of wine or box of broth, some orange juice is good too, lime if you didn't have wine. Or some vinegar works if you don't have lime. If you have cilantro put the stems in, if you don't, don't worry about it.
Close and cook on low all day. We usually have it with rice and black beans the first day, it's good in tortillas with salsa, good on nachos, good in enchiladas, it's just good

Corned beef and cabbage. Corned beef, one onion, 2 cups of water, can of guiness. Pressure cook on high for 90 minutes. Slow release.
Remove beef, cover with a mix of brown sugar and honey. Broil/grill/torch to carmelize/burn the sugar a bit.
While you’re doing that, you throw the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots into the broth and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes-quick release.
Veggies will be done same time as beef is seared.
Enjoy.

Ground beef and gravy over mashed potatoes. Simple and delicious. Open a cam of beans and you got a meal. Alternatively, ground beef and teriyaki sauce over rice.

In my country we are used to eat every part of the animals so I have many recipes, but non you would like lol. Once I said my favorite dish ever was oxtail and people freaked out. Btw, Oxtail and potatoes in the pressure cooker is enough. Omg so goooooooood
Oxtail soup is amazing. I make it with a whole bottle of wine, and never eat it the first day. Unfortunately oxtail is very expensive here right now.

If you don't count oip and spices, then any kind of dal. Dal, onion, ginger garlic paste, chili, tomato. Then add your spices, which can be as simple as garam masala, turneric, and red chili powder. Salt after it's cooked. Aside from the onion everything can come from the pantry or freezer. Technically you could blend and freeze the onion to make life even easier.
I know I'm pushing it but this is basically the easiest meal ever and it's just one pot. You only need to dirty a cutting board, knife, and spoon. It's nearly a pantry meal and requires no thought or special technique aside from knowing when onions are caramelized but not burned. And it's vegan, gluten free, and very inexpensive.

Salsa chicken. It's chicken, a bit of taco seasoning, then salsa. Cooked for 4 hours on high.
I have a variant of this I love. 2-3 lbs Chicken breast coated in taco seasoning and enough chicken broth to cover most of it. Cook on high for 3 hours. Drain the liquid, add half a block of cream cheese and half a cup of salsa, shred the chicken and add it to the now melted goo in the pot. Stir and eat. You might need some time for it to heat back up.
My other favorite is a chuck roast and a big jar of pickled peppers. Cook it for 8 hours on low. Shred it, strain it onto toasted ciabatta rolls with a couple slices of provolone and Dijon mustard.

Curry.
- curry paste
- coconut cream
- whatever veggies and legumes you have
- a side of rice

Carnitas
- Pork shoulder
- Oranges
- Limes
- Salt
- Oregano
Dump it all in a pot, come back in 4 hours.
Optionally, crisp it up in a pan or under broiler.Few more ingredients but my carnitas have always been a crowd pleaser
- Pork shoulder
- Coke
- Orange juice
- Chicken stock
- Canned Chipotles in adobo
- Onions
- Garlic
- Spices - I mix it up a bit, but salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, and oregano will usually get you there. Packet or two of taco seasoning would probably do the trick as well
I tend to eyeball everything, but usually about a 12oz can of coke, ok and stock until it looks right, one onion chopped up, however many cloves of garlic I feel like peeling and chopping
If the pork shoulder fits I do it in a pressure cooker on high about 2 hours, if it doesn't I do it significantly longer in a slow cooker
When it's falling apart, pull the bones out, shred (I like to use a mixer)
Then like you, crisp it up under the broiler, and maybe mix in some of the cooking liquid

Do spices count as ingredients? My mother always pressed into me so much to have a stocked spice...drawer? Rack? Thing? that I don't think of them as a number for the recipe. "Of course I have black pepper, salt, oregano, bay leaves, etcetc" but I realize maybe I should count them before giving recipes!

brazilian beans.
a cup or two of beans soaked overnight (discard the soaking water). you can make with black beans, but i prefer pinto (whoa)
garlic
1 or 2 large onions
salt
water or a stock of your choicesautée the diced garlic and onions in cooking oil or lard until golden. add the strained beans, about a teaspoon of salt, cover with water or stock up to 1.5, 2 cm above the beans. cook for about 30 min in a pressure cooker over low fire. after done, mash some beans to free some starch to the broth and adjust the salt to your liking. serve with some white rice, lettuce and tomato salad, and a protein of your choice (steak with onions, roasted chicken, fish fillet, sausages, pork steak, schnitzel, fried egg and veggie patties are popular choices).
if enough broth is left over, it can be served on its own as soup on small cups, often with some drops of the hot sauce of your choice (tabasco, jalapeño, sriracha). this is called "caldinho", or little broth, and goes well accompanying beer, caipirinha, mojito or daiquiri.
you can also add some other things to boost your beans. popular choices are diced tomatoes or tomato paste, diced bell peppers, winter squash cubes, green onions, cilantro, parsley, powdered cumin, bacon or jerky cubes, diced sausages, or roasted meat/pork leftovers.
