Description

This delicious Instant Pot stew combines robustly flavored Hatch green chile peppers with rich pork loin, pancetta, potatoes and sweet corn.

Ingredients

1/4 pound diced pancetta
1 pound boneless pork loin, cubed
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced shallot
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium white potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/3 cup roasted Hatch green chiles, seeds and skin removed, chopped
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup half-and-half

Directions

1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Cook pancetta for 1 minute. Add cubed pork loin, onion, and shallot. Saute until pork loin is starting to brown and onion is just starting to become clear, about 2 more minutes. Add olive oil if pork and onion bits are sticking to the pan.
2 Stir in potatoes and chiles and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Add corn, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Cancel Saute mode.
3 Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
4 Release pressure carefully using the natural release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Select Saute mode.
5 Remove lid, pour in half-and-half, and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Correct seasoning with salt and pepper.
