Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ medium onion, chopped

  • ½ medium green bell pepper, chopped

  • ¼ medium red bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups Calabaza

  • 1 medium potato, peeled and chopped

  • ½ medium tomato, chopped

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chickpeas, drained

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 3 cups water

  • 2 teaspoons paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil. Saute onion, bell peppers, and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add calabaza, potato, and tomato. Pour in water; stir in paprika and ginger.

  2. 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.

  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Scoop out approximately 1 cup of the solids and process in a food processor or mash. Mix back into the cooker to thicken the stew. Serve hot and garnish with parsley.

Cook's Note:

You can use chicken broth instead of water, sweet potato instead of a regular potato, and raw pumpkin instead of calabaza.
