  • 3 medium russet potatoes, chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 1½ cups cooked (1 15-ounce can rinsed and drained) kidney beans
  • 1½ cup cooked (1 15-ounce can rinsed and drained) black beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon tamari

  • 1 batch Vegan Cornbread Mini Muffin batter (see recipe below)

  • vegan sour cream
  • fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. On the Foodi, select SEAR/SAUTE and set to MD:HI. Preheat for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the olive oil, onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the cornbread batter) to the pot.
  4. Assemble the pressure lid, making sure the release valve is in the SEAL position. Select PRESSURE and set to HIGH. Set the time to 15 minutes and select START/STOP to begin.
  5. When the pressure cooking is finished, quick release the valve by moving the pressure release valve to the VENT position. Carefully remove the lid when the unit has finished releasing pressure.
  6. Give the chili a quick stir. Use a spoon to dollop about half of the Vegan Cornbread Mini Muffin batter over the top of the chili (see note in Vegan Cornbread recipe about what to do with leftover batter).
  7. Close the crisping lid. Select BAKE/ROAST, set the temperature to 375°F, and set the time to12 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
  8. When the cornbread is finished cooking (it should be golden brown and slightly crispy on top), use a ladle to transfer to bowls and top with vegan sour cream and fresh cilantro.
