Directions

  1. Press “sauté” button on Instant Pot and add canola oil. Add the onions. Keep the lid off and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onions are transparent.
  2. Add garlic, jalapeno pepper, and ginger. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Add potatoes, cabbage, zucchini, lentils, tomato juice, tomatoes, water, salt, sugar, and pepper to the Instant Pot.
  4. Press cancel to stop the sauté function, seal the lid, set to cook on HIGH pressure for 6 minutes. (It will take about 12 minutes for the pressure to build, then the timer will begin.)
  5. Once the timer has stopped, turn to vent to release the remaining pressure completely before opening the lid.
  6. Stir in peanut butter and cilantro. Heat for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with more cilantro and serve.
