Pressure Cooker White Bean Chili

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp Mexican oregano
  • 3 cups butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 2 15-oz. cans no salt added cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt, for garnish

Directions:

Select the sauté function on the Instant Pot and heat the olive oil. Add the onion and poblano chili and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, and oregano and cook for about 45 seconds, or until fragrant. Press cancel.

Add the butternut squash, broth, corn, beans, salt, and black pepper to the pot and stir to combine. Lock the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5–10 minutes, then carefully quick-release any remaining pressure. Stir in the cilantro.

Serve hot with lime wedges and Greek yogurt on top.
