Electric Pressure Cooker

Our butcher retired but two brothers bought the shop. They are doing a nice job of carrying on the tradition of the best place in town.

My friend gave me an electric pressure cooker and I plan to make this.

Instant Pot Pork Stew
Yield: 6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Additional Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

This easy spicy Instant Pot pork stew makes a hearty weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

1 T oil
1 1/2 pounds pork, cubed
1 cup water
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 can pinto beans or black beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups frozen corn, thawed

Instructions

Put the Instant Pot on Saute and add the oil. Brown the pork in the oil for 5 minutes.
Turn the Instant Pot off, and then use the water to deglaze it. Stir well and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to make sure there are no brown bits left on bottom.
Add the onion, garlic, cornmeal, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and beans to the Instant Pot and mix well.
Dump the can of tomatoes on top but don't stir it into the other ingredients. (Not stirring it in reduces the chance you will get a burn error.)
Cover, bring to pressure on High pressure or the Stew/Meat setting and cook for 25 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the rest of the pressure and stir in the corn. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes to heat the corn.
