Instant Pot Chile Verde Recipes

INSTANT POT® CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add tomatillos, jalapenos, and crushed garlic to the hot oil. Saute, flipping once or twice, until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. (Remove garlic earlier if it browns sooner.)
• Transfer vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and puree with 2 cups chicken broth until smooth.
• Clean and dry the inner pot of the Instant Pot®. Select Saute function and heat remaining olive oil. Add pork, onion, bell pepper, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and saute, adding more oil if necessary, until pork is browned on all sides and vegetables are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Cancel Saute function. Pour in remaining chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Stir in reserved tomatillo puree.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in chopped cilantro.

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.

• 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.

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.
