INSTANT POT VEGETARIAN WHITE CHILI



Instant Pot Vegetarian White Chili image

Parsnips lend a wonderful sweet and nutty flavor to this healthy white bean chili. Using an Instant Pot (or any other pressure cooker) means this hearty chili can be ready in under an hour, but it still tastes like it's simmered away for hours. Pureeing some of the chili gives the stew a nice creaminess, but feel free to skip that step to save time. Garnish the chili with cheese and sour cream for a richer meal, or serve it as-is to keep it vegan.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ½ cups chopped parsnips
1 ½ cups chopped white onions
1 ½ cups chopped poblano peppers
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 (15.5 ounce) cans no-salt-added white beans, rinsed
2 ½ cups lower-sodium no-chicken broth or vegetable broth
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions, green and light green parts only
Hot sauce, shredded sharp Cheddar cheese and sour cream for garnish

Steps:

  • Select Sauté setting on a 6-quart programmable multicooker (such as an Instant Pot). (Times, instructions and settings may vary according to cooker brand or model.) Select High temperature setting and allow to preheat. Add oil to the cooker; heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add parsnips, onions, poblanos and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir cumin, oregano and chili powder into the onion mixture; cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute. Stir in beans, broth and salt. Press Cancel.
  • Cover the cooker and lock the lid in place. Turn the steam release handle to Sealing position. Select the Manual/Pressure Cook setting. Select High pressure for 10 minutes. (It will take 5 to 15 minutes for the cooker to come up to pressure before cooking begins.)
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the steam release handle to Venting position, and let the steam fully escape (the float valve will drop; this will take 8 to 10 minutes). Turn off the cooker. Carefully transfer 1 cup of the chili to a food processor; pulse until smooth, 4 to 5 times. Return to the cooker.
  • Ladle the chili evenly into 6 bowls. Sprinkle evenly with cilantro and scallions; serve with hot sauce, cheese and sour cream, if desired.

VEGETARIAN WHITE CHILI

A Parmesan rind is the secret ingredient in this hearty white-bean chili-it adds tremendous richness and depth of flavor. If you don't have one, substitute the water in the recipe for homemade or store-bought low-sodium vegetable broth.

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 poblano chiles (12 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 white onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 to 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 Parmesan rind
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
1/4 cup fine cornmeal
2 cans (each 15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups chopped spinach (4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup sour cream
Thinly sliced radishes and jalapenos, diced avocado, and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Place poblanos directly over a gas flame, and cook, turning with tongs occasionally, until charred all over, about 8 minutes. (Or char under a broiler on a rimmed baking sheet.) Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Using your hands, rub off charred skin, rinsing your hands frequently under cold running water. Pat poblanos dry. Slice poblanos in half, remove seeds and stems, and cut flesh into 1-inch pieces.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook until translucent and browned around edges, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and coriander; cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
  • Add Parmesan rind, green chiles, poblanos, and 4 cups water. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors meld, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornmeal and 1 cup hot cooking liquid. Return to saucepan and stir to combine. Simmer until liquid thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together cilantro and sour cream. Set aside.
  • Add beans and greens to saucepan; simmer until beans are heated through and greens are wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, with herbed sour cream, radishes, jalapenos, avocado, and a squeeze of lime.

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion (diced) (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
3 medium cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth*
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, rinsed
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground (cayenne red pepper) (use less for less heat)
Juice of 1 medium lime
Fresh cilantro
Lime wedges to squeeze over the top
Sliced scallions

Diced avocado
Sour cream or cashew sour cream
A dash or two of Green Tabasco

Steps:

  • Set a medium-to-large pot over low heat. Add the olive oil, onion, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, for another minute.
  • Add the broth, beans, chiles, cloves, and cayenne. Stir to combine. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 3-5 more minutes until thickened a tiny bit.

  • Serve with assorted toppings if desired. I'm partial to this vegan cashew sour cream - yum!
