PRESSURE COOKER CHICKPEA, RED PEPPER AND TOMATO STEW



Pressure Cooker Chickpea, Red Pepper and Tomato Stew image

This vegan stew is inspired by romesco, the Spanish sauce made from roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. Here, those flavors combine in a ragout that pulls from the pantry, with fast prep and little waste. Instead of stock, this stew relies on the thick liquid from the canned chickpeas, sometimes called aquafaba. And the marinating oil in jarred sundried tomatoes is delicious, especially when augmented with herbs and vinegar. Give yours a little taste to make sure you like it, and then throw that in, too. (If you don't like it, make up the difference with regular olive oil.) The smoked almonds on top are key, adding necessary crunch and richness, so be generous with them. (If you would like to make this stew on the stovetop, just sauté the onion then add the remaining stew ingredients and simmer until the flavors are blended, about 30 minutes. You can also use this recipe to prepare the dish in a slow cooker.)

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving
1 red onion, chopped
1 (6- to 7-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped (about 1 cup), oil reserved (about 3 tablespoons)
5 garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, with liquid (or about 4 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas and 1 cup cooking liquid)
2 (12-ounce) jars roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped (2 cups)
1 (14-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
Kosher salt and black pepper
Red-pepper flakes, for serving
Chopped smoked almonds, for serving

Steps:

  • Turn on the sauté setting on a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, garlic and smoked paprika, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
