Instant Pot Butternut Squash and White Bean Chili
- 1 1/2 cups (280g) dry cannellini beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 poblano chili, seeded and chopped
- 3 medium cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
- 3 cups (380g) butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 1/2 cups (592ml) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup (75g) frozen corn
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
- The night before cooking, soak the beans. Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with 10 cups cold water; soak for 8–12 hours. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
- To make the chili, put the oil in the Instant Pot, select sauté and adjust to more/high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and poblano chilies and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and oregano, and cook until fragrant, 45 seconds. Press cancel.
- Add the beans, squash, broth, corn, salt and pepper to the pot. Lock the lid, turn valve to “sealing,” select the pressure cook function and adjust to high pressure; set timer for 20 minutes.
- When cooking time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release the remaining pressure. Stir in the cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
