Instructions
Put the Instant Pot on Saute and add the oil. Brown the pork in the oil for 5 minutes.
1 T oil, 1 1/2 pounds pork
Turn the Instant Pot off, and then use the water to deglaze it. Stir well and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to make sure there are no brown bits left on bottom.
1 cup water
Add the onion, garlic, cornmeal, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and beans to the Instant Pot and mix well.
1 onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 Tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 can pinto beans or black beans
Dump the can of tomatoes on top but don't stir it into the other ingredients. (Not stirring it in reduces the chance you will get a burn error.)
1 can diced tomatoes
Cover, bring to pressure on High pressure or the Stew/Meat setting and cook for 25 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the rest of the pressure and stir in the corn. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes to heat the corn.
2 cups frozen corn
Garnish with green onions, jalapenos and cilantro. Serve over cornbread or corn muffins.
Notes
This stew is mildly spicy. If you want it to be really spicy increase the amount of chili powder or add a chopped jalapeno to the stew.I make my Instant Pot recipes in a 6 quart Instant Pot. You might have to modify the recipe if you are using a different pressure cooker. I'd advise doubling the recipe if using an 8 quart Instant Pot.
