Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (454 g) pumpkin, peeled and cubed
  • 1 lb (454 g) butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 lb (454 g) winter squash or hard marrow, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • ¼ cup (64 g / 2.26 oz) almond butter
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) dried rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For a smoother, soup-like consistency, use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the stew after cooking.
  • To make this a more substantial meal, stir in a can of drained chickpeas or some pre-cooked shredded chicken after pressure cooking.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Set your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function on medium heat.
  3. Add the heavy cream and almond butter, whisking continuously until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir well to create a creamy base.
  5. Turn off the 'Sauté' function.
  6. Add the minced onion, garlic, cubed pumpkin, butternut squash, winter squash, and dried rosemary to the pot.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper and give everything a final stir.
  8. Secure the lid, set the steam release valve to 'Sealing,' and cook on the 'Stew' or 'Manual/High Pressure' setting for 20 minutes.
  9. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 10 minutes before carefully switching the valve to 'Venting' to release any remaining steam.
  10. Open the lid, stir the stew, and taste.
  11. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed before serving hot.
  12. Garnish with a swirl of cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, or fresh parsley to add texture and a pop of color before serving.
