1. Gather Ingredients
Start by gathering your ingredients: the potatoes, onion, tomatoes, chicken pieces, and bay leaves. Place all of these into your pressure cooker. Adding a generous pinch of kosher salt at this stage is crucial, as it helps to enhance the flavors as everything cooks together. Stir the mixture gently to ensure the salt coats all the ingredients evenly.
2. Cook in Pressure Cooker
Once everything is combined, secure the lid on your pressure cooker. Set it to high pressure and cook for 25 minutes. This cooking method not only speeds up the process but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich and hearty stew. When the time is up, carefully release the pressure according to your cooker’s instructions and remove the lid.
3. Season to Taste
Now, it’s time to season to taste. Add additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting until the flavors are just right. This final seasoning step is important as it brings all the elements of the stew together.
4. Serve the Stew
Ladle the stew into bowls, making sure each serving gets a good mix of chicken, potatoes, and tomatoes. Serve it hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this traditional Colombian dish.
Use chickpeas and root vegetables like carrots and parsnips, with spices like turmeric and coriander.
Use beef and sweet potatoes, warming spices like cumin and smoked paprika.
Substitute chicken with seafood, add dill or tarragon, and cream or coconut milk for richness.
Use pork shoulder, add corn, with lime juice and chili for heat.
Swap chicken for lamb, incorporate mint, tomato paste, and red wine for deeper flavor.
