This meal was like a warm hug. So comforting and yummy! I accidentally added the tahini paste in the IP and cooked it. I added some more after the meal was cooked. Still came out delicious. Froze the left overs and they came in handy when we were sick. Perfect meal for comfort!

In reply to John. Yes, 2 lbs. It makes a lot so plan accordingly for leftovers or cut in half if needed :)

It says 2 lbs (2 pounds) bell peppers. Is that correct? I just want to make sure. Is it supposed to be only 2 individual bell peppers instead? Please let me know. Looking forward to making this.

In reply to Helena. Hi Helena, Thanks for the questions! Cook time remains the same for fresh or frozen (20 minutes). Your IP will just take longer to come to pressure when it is frozen. When you make it as a freezer meal, you will not freeze with the water/broth, so you will need to add that to the IP before cooking.

In reply to Olena.

Hi, thanks for the recipe. Your reply is a bit confusing. In the Instructions it says, “Instant Pot: Add ingredients in exact order listed: onion, garlic, bell pepper, chicken, quinoa, chickpeas, broth, salt, pepper, bay leaves and tomatoes. DO NOT STIR. Pressure cook on High for 20 minutes and afterwards release pressure with Quick Release method.” I thought that was for the Fresh not frozen.
And in the Freezer Meals section it says “Instant Pot: Freeze all ingredients (minus tahini and herbs) in a gallon size resealable plastic bag. Cook from frozen with 2 cups water or any low sodium broth on High pressure for 20 minutes. Quick release.”

So which one is it? The time and water ration in the Instructions? or in this reply?

Thank you again!

In reply to Sandy. It has not been tested with white rice, so I am not sure and cook time may change.

Would it be possible to use long grain white rice in place of the quinoa? Thanks!

In reply to crystal Pegram. You can try 1/2 cup less water and a bit shorter cook time.

This flavor was great, but it came out a tad mushy. I’m wanting to try again – any tips?
