Instant Pot Chile Verde Recipes

INSTANT POT® COLORADO CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add olive oil. Add chicken breast, onion, chile peppers, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to hot oil. Saute until chicken is browned and onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, salsa verde, white beans, corn kernels, and cilantro; mix well. Turn off Saute mode.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Select Saute function. Stir in flour and cook chile until it thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. If you like a thicker consistency, mix potato starch and water in a small bowl and stir into chile with the flour. Serve with lime wedges.

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.
