Instant Pot lentil and bean chili
Report
This Instant Pot lentil and bean chili is hearty, healthy, delicious and budget-friendly. Mild enough for kids to enjoy and endlessly versatile: serve over rice, as jacket potato filling, in taco salad, nachos or turn into a burrito. Dial up the spice by adding some ancho chilli paste if you like it hot!

Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil or use Fry Light for Slimming World version
- 1 onion finely diced, large
- 3 garlic minced, large cloves
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 1 tsp hot chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ancho chili paste (optional)
- 1 red bell pepper finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper finely diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper finely diced
- 1 cup black beans rinsed, 160g
- 1 cup green lentils rinsed, 160g
- 1 cup red split lentils rinsed, 180g
- 2x oz chopped tomatoes in juice, canned
- 4 cups vegetable stock from 1 cube, hot, 950ml
- Handful Fresh coriander cilantro leaves to garnish
Instructions
- Add the oil into your pressure cooker and select the ‘Sauté’ function. Alternatively use a low calorie cooking spray such as Fry Light.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, then add the garlic, spices and seasoning. Stir to combine.
- Add the peppers, and paste if using, and stir for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the beans, lentils, tomatoes and stock.
- Set your vent to ‘sealing’ and cook for 25 minutes on high pressure. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes then manually release.
- Taste the seasoning and adjust if necessary.
- Serve over rice, as jacket potato filling, in taco salad, nachos or turn into a burrito.
Notes
- I used a 6L/Q Instant Pot Duo for this recipe.
- I used unsalted canned tomatoes, if you use salted reduce the added salt in the recipe.
- Although the active pressure cooking time is 25 minutes (plus 5 minutes sautéing) the recipe requires 20 minutes natural release so factor that in when making the recipe.
- This recipe is FREE on Slimming World if you use a low calorie cooking spray. Any cheese topping is a healthy extra. Avoid adding avocado which is very high in SYNS. Only 8 Smart Points for those on Weight Watchers!
