PRESSURE COOKER CHIPOTLE CHICKEN POZOLE

Steps:

• Using the sauté setting, heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker. Add the onion, season it with salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until slightly softened and fragrant, 2 minutes. Turn the sauté setting off.
• Open the can of chipotles and remove the chiles, leaving as much of the adobo sauce behind as possible. (Scrape the sauce off the chiles with your fingers as best you can.) Set the chiles aside and add the adobo sauce to the pressure cooker. Chop 1 to 4 of the chiles until they are almost a paste. (Determine the number of chiles according to your desired level of heat: 1 chile for a very mild soup and 4 for a very spicy soup.) Add the chiles to the pressure cooker. (Store remaining chiles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days and in the freezer indefinitely.)
• Using the sauté setting, add onion and garlic powders, cumin and oregano to the pressure cooker. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken until coated, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt (but hold off on the salt if you are using fully salted broth.) Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
• Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then release remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out of the knob along with the steam, carefully close it and wait 5 more minutes before releasing remaining pressure.) Using a ladle, skim excess fat from the surface of the soup, if desired.
• Using the sauté setting, coarsely shred the chicken in the pot using 2 forks. Add the corn and the pozole and simmer until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lime juice and taste; add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve the soup in bowls with the toppings of choice.

PRESSURE COOKER POZOLE

Steps:

• Set your salted water on to boil in your pressure cooker pot so it can be heating up while you prep your ingredients.
• Cut the pork into bite-size cubes and add to the water in the pressure cooker. Be sure to include any bone(s) from the roast. Add the bay leaves, then put the lid on and bring up to pressure per your cooker's instructions (this might take 20-30 minutes). Once the cooker is up to pressure, turn the heat down a bit until the stopper is rocking gently and set your timer for 10 minutes.
• During all that waiting time, chop your onion, drain and rinse your hominy, open your cans of green chillies, and measure out your seasonings. Read a book. Watch a video on Youtube. Finish tidying up and set the table. Whatever you like, just don't get out of earshot of the cooker's hiss. You want a nice gentle rocking.
• After ten minutes at pressure, take your pressure cooker off the heat, douse it under cold water in your sink until the pressure is released, and open the pot.
• Add the remaining ingredients, being careful not to fill above the max fill line on your cooker. (Take out some pork/stock and set aside if needed to make room for the hominy and onions.) Stir, put the lid back on, and bring back up to pressure (again, 20-30 minutes), and again cook at gently-rocking pressure 7 minutes.
• After 7 minutes at pressure, douse cooker under cold water in your sink until the pressure is released, stir, and adjust any seasonings for taste (it'll be crazy hot so be careful!).
• Serve with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro, and garnish with pico de gallo, avocado slices, and lime wedges. Yum!
