Instant Pot Vegan Chickpea Chili









Some vegetarian dishes are so beautiful such as this Instant Pot Vegan Chickpea Chili – they don’t need a description. What can I say? But I can’t help myself…This plant-based chili is filled with smoky bold flavours, tender butternut squash, beautiful green collards and a fair share of protein from the healthy quinoa. This chili is all about hidden flavours, subtle textures and keeps you guessing what the next spoonful will bring 🙂
♥ Why is instant pot chickpea chili tastier and better for us?
First, by pressure-cooking this vegan chickpea chili, you reduce the lectin content. Lectins are a family of proteins found in legumes and grains. For some people lectins cause increased gut discomfort, this is why cooking them under pressure is better for many people.
When you use dry chickpeas also called garbanzo beans in recipes, the texture is better, they taste fresher, and they add more flavour to your food. You also control the salt, allowing you to season your dish to your liking. Most canned beans are laden with table salt. And let’s not forget that dry chickpeas are more economical to buy then canned. And since this chili is made in a pressure cooker, it also comes together in a snap. No more long hours of simmering on the stove.
What to serve with chili?
To serve, you can add various toppings like cilantro, chopped red onion, avocado, lime wedges, plant-based yogurt or shredded cheese. Enjoy!
