Chef Joeys Anasazi Bean Chili Pressure Cooker Food

CHEF JOEY'S ANASAZI BEAN CHILI (PRESSURE COOKER)

Steps:

• First pressure cook the beans by adding the water, salt and cleaned beans to the pot of the pressure cooker and bring to a boil. Then place the pressure cooker lid on the pot and pressure cook for 6 minutes on the second red ring.
• If you use different beans then Anasazi, be sure to check for the time they need to cook. Not all beans are created equal.
• Use the cold water release method to cool down the pressure cooker. This is done by pouring a stream of cold water from the tap on the side of the lid of the pressure cooker. Most cookers will have instructions as to how to cool your cooker down.
• Remove the beans to a colander and drain the water from the beans. At this stage the beans will still be a bit tough.
• In a medium saute pan, add the olive oil and saute the onion until transparent. Add the garlic being careful not to brown it.
• Cut up the chicken sausage in medium size pieces. The kind I bought were fully cooked so I didn't saute them.
• Put the garlic, onion, chicken sausage and beans into the pressure cooker.
• Add 4 cups chicken broth. Stir and close the lid securely and pressure cook for 12 minutes on the second red ring.
• When done use the cold water release method and open the pressure cooker once the steam is all gone.
• Taste the beans, make sure they are soft.
• Add 1 box of Fantastic Vegetarian Chili mix and the large can of diced tomatoes.
• Simmer on low uncovered for 20 minutes and serve over your favorite grain and with a piece of home made corn bread.
• Bon Appetit.

PRESSURE COOKER WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Set a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note). Add the olive oil to the pot; once it's shimmering, add the chicken. Cook until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Add the poblano and red onion. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Add the cilantro, cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is tender and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Return the chicken to the pot, then stir in the chicken broth, white beans and their liquid, green chiles and tortillas until combined. Cancel the high saute function.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 12 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete (this should take about 3 minutes). Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Using tongs, remove the chicken to a plate, then shred with 2 forks. Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot, then taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls and top with cilantro, sour cream, cheese, avocado and/or lime wedges for squeezing.
