HEARTY PLANT BASED STEW WITH RED WINE

I love Instapot cooking. You can make it in the morning and let it sit on the keep warm function until you are ready to eat it. I used a 6 quart Instapot for this recipe.

Ingredients

1                         onion, chopped  

3 cloves              garlic, minced

1 cup                  dried, small mushrooms, rinsed

2                         carrots, cut in  large chucks

4-5 medium       potatoes, cut into large chucks

2 stalks              celery, diced

1 cup                 red wine,

1 1/2 cup           broth, I use mushroom broth

1  14 oz             can diced tomatoes

1  19 oz             can  black eyed peas, but any kind will do 

3-4 Tblsp          mushroom seasoning, use less if your broth is salted

1/2 tsp               smoked paprika

1/2 tsp               black pepper

1/4 cup              quick oats

Instructions

1.   Place everything but the oats into the Instapot and give it a good stir.

2.   Sprinkle the oats on top of the stew, but do not stir or you might get the burn notice while cooking.

3. Seal  and set Instapot to high pressure cooking for 6 minutes. Let pressure come down naturally. Stir in the oats. 

4. Adjust seasonings to your taste.

5. Enjoy!
