Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 17

16 oz dried red kidney beans
1 smoked pork hock
10 cups water
1 Spanish chorizo (sliced )
1 tsp Sazon
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 tbsp dry white wine
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp cumin
1 bay leaf
1 potato (cut into 1 inch cubes )
2 cups butternut squash (cut into 1 inch cubes )
1 small onion (finely diced )
3 garlic cloves (finely minced)
1/4 cup sofrito
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp oil

Steps:

  • Start by arranging the dried kidney beans on a baking sheet and sorting through them. Make sure to discard any stones or broken beans. Rinse them and set them aside.
  • Place the beans, ham hock, and 10 cups of water in your instant pot. Press the "pressure cook" function on your instant pot and select 1 hour and 5 minutes. Once the time is up, do a quick release. When the pin in the lid drops down, safely open the lid.
  • Remove the pork hock and discard any fat. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and chorizo and cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the sazon, cumin, oregano, sofrito, and tomato sauce. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the cooked beans and ham hock meat to the pot along with the bay leaf, dry white wine, potatoes, and butternut squash. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes and butternut squash are tender.
  • Uncover, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook until the beans thicken. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 oz. bag of Red Kidney Beans
5 cups water
4 Spanish chorizos (not spicy), cut in chunks
1 smoked ham hock (lacon), leave whole
1 lb. smoked ham, cut up in chunks
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt to taste
4 small potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 lbs of calabaza (Caribbean squash) you can also use banana squash - peeled, seeded and cubed
2 carrots, peeled and cubed

Steps:

  • 1. Soak beans in water overnight or for at least 2 hours (the water should cover the beans and will be almost all absorbed). 2. In a pressure cooker, add the beans (any any left over water) plus 5 cups water and ham hock. 3. Put the lid on the pressure cooker and seal. Cook on high until the cooker pressurizes and then lower the heat to medium and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. 4. Remove from heat until all pressure is gone. Remove the lid. 5. Set on low heat and add the rest of the ingredients. 6. Without replacing the lid, return to heat, taste for salt and pepper, add more if needed. Set on medium for about 60 minutes until the soup is thick enough to coat a spoon. We usually serve the potaje over white rice or with a couple of slices of Cuban bread accompanied by an avocado and onion salad and a hearty glass of red wine.

CHILI CON CARNE CON FRIJOLES



Chili con Carne con Frijoles image

This chili is chock full - of meat, beans and flavor! And it feeds a crowd. If making vegan, don't add the ground beef. Substitute any canned beans for the ones listed, the more the merrier, whatever your pot will hold. If making a small batch use the cans of unseasoned "bean medley" and cut back on the other ingredients. If you're watching your sodium, drain and rinse the beans before adding, but if not, use undrained - excellent source of fiber.
