Instant Pot Chile Verde Food

CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Line a cast-iron griddle or skillet with aluminum foil, set over high heat, and roast the tomatillos and serrano, turning often, for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly charred and slightly softened. Transfer to a blender. Dice 1 Anaheim chile and 1 poblano chile and set aside. Add the remaining 2 Anaheims and 1 poblano to the blender and puree until smooth.
• Press Sauté-normal/medium on the Instant Pot and heat the lard. Add half of the pork in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Season with 1 1/2 tsp of the salt and 3/4 tsp of the pepper, then, using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate. Add the remaining pork, the onion, garlic, and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes, until lightly browned. Season with the remaining 1 1/4 tsp salt and the remaining 3/4 tsp pepper. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, until the flour begins to brown. Add the reserved pork, the broth, tomatoes, and potatoes (if using) and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Press Cancel.
• Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press Meat/Stew, then set the cooking time for 25 minutes. When the cooking program is complete, press Cancel. Let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam. Open the pot and stir in the reserved diced Anaheim and poblano chiles. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve with the rice, passing the sour cream, cilantro, diced onion, and avocado on the side.
• Press Sauté-normal/medium on the Instant Pot and heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, until lightly browned. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until the grains begin to take on a light golden tinge. Press Cancel. Add the salt, water, and broth, then scrape up any rice that may be stuck to the bottom or sides of the pot. Wearing heat-resistant mitts, lift the inner pot out of the Instant Pot housing and gently swirl the inner pot to get the grains to settle into an even layer. Return the inner pot to the housing.
• Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press Rice.
• When the cooking program is complete, press Cancel. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam. Open the pot and, using a fork or chopsticks, gently fluff the rice. Wipe off the condensation from the lid, then replace it without securing it. Let the rice rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN CHILE VERDE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs, tomatillos, peppers, onion, garlic, cumin, and salt in an Instant Pot. Saute on high for 5-8 minutes, until chicken is lightly seared. Place lid on Instant Pot, seal, and cook manually on high pressure for 15 minutes. When finished, allow pressure to release naturally.
• Remove chicken from pot and shred, then set aside.
• Add cilantro and Worcestershire sauce to the remaining ingredients in the Instant Pot. Using an immersion blender (or transferring everything in the Instant Pot to a high-power blender), blend until sauce is smooth. Pour sauce over shredded chicken (as much or as little as you want).
• Serve warm topped with cilantro, fresh squeezed lime juice, and tortillas.

INSTANT POT CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• 1. In a pressure cooker, place peppers, onions, garlic, spices, chicken broth and a big pinch of salt. (Do not add the meat, potatoes or the potato flakes yet.) Seal the pressure cooker, bring to high pressure, and cook for 5 minutes. Release pressure.
• 2. Using an immersion blender, puree the pepper mixture until it is like a green sauce.
• 3. Add the pork and stir to combine. Replace the lid and cook on manual for 18 minutes. Do a QR until pressure is released. Add the potatoes and pressure cook for another 4 minutes. NR for 5 minutes and then QR.
• 4. Depending on the amount of fat left on the pork, there may be a layer of grease on the top of the dish after it sits in the pot for a few minutes.... just take a spoon and get as much off as you can.
• 5. If the sauce is not like a gravy consistency, add ¼ to ½ cup instant potato flakes and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes for the potato flakes to dissolve and thicken the sauce.
• 6. NOTE: Since the peppers make a lot of 'juice' when cooked, adding all the ingredients to the pressure cooker, with just the small amount of liquid, makes for an intensely flavored stew that cooks in its own juices.

INSTANT POT TURKEY CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Select the Sauté setting on the Instant Pot and heat the oil. Add the turkey and sauté, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks, for about 5 minutes, until cooked through and no traces of pink remain. Add the onion, chiles, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, and cayenne and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes, until the onion has softened and is translucent. Stir in the pinto beans, salsa verde, and broth.
• Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press the Cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the Bean/Chili setting and set the cooking time for 20 minutes at high pressure.
