Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound chorizo, sliced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup green olives, sliced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the Meats: Set your pressure cooker to the sauté function. Add the ground beef and chorizo to the pot, breaking up the ground beef as it cooks. Sauté until the meats are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Season the Chili: Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, sliced olives, and beef broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure for 15 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before performing a quick release of any remaining pressure.
- Serve: Open the lid carefully and give the chili a good stir. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
Enjoy your flavorful and hearty Pressure-Cooker Spanish Chili, a comforting dish with a unique Spanish twist!
