Instant Pot® Pork and Hatch Green Chile Stew image

This is a classic example of the robust flavors of Hatch green chile peppers that have been mellowed by the richness of pork, potatoes, and sweet corn. When serving, if too spicy, drizzle bowls with honey to cut the heat.

Ingredients

¼ pound diced pancetta
1 pound boneless pork loin, cubed
¼ cup diced onion
¼ cup diced shallot

2 medium white potatoes, peeled and cubed
⅓ cup roasted Hatch green chiles, seeds and skin removed, chopped
1 ½ cups frozen corn kernels
1 ½ cups chicken stock

Tips:

For a richer stew, use a combination of pork shoulder and pork belly.
If you don't have time to brown the pork beforehand, you can skip this step and just add the pork to the Instant Pot.
Be sure to sear the pork in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pot and steam instead of brown.
Add a splash of red wine or chicken broth to the pot before cooking to deglaze the bottom and add extra flavor.
If you're using frozen vegetables, add them to the pot in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot pork stew is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying stew that the whole family will enjoy.
