If you follow my blog you know that my hubby and I really love peppers. He had a stellar year in garden growing jalapeños, serranos, poblanos, Anaheim chiles and banana peppers. So while we don’t have the fresh from the garden peppers laying around, I was in the mood for something different than the bell peppers we normally eat in winter. So I got out my Instant Pot and made this low carb pork & pepper stew. It’s spicy and hearty and perfect for a cold winter day. It makes a huge pot full that you can eat as is with a little cilantro and sour cream if you wish to keep it low carb. Or you can eat it over rice. Either way you are going to love it!

Why I Love My Instant Pot

Do you have an Instant Pot? A lot of people seem to have gotten one for Christmas because my Instant Pot recipes are really popular right now. Scroll down for more Instant Pot recipes to try. One of the best things about these pots is that you can saute in them and then pressure cook. Sometimes when making a stew like this in a slow cooker, you have to brown the meat separately and that just makes one more pot to clean. Instant Pots are also great for when you forgot to get the slow cooker going early in the morning to make a good stew or roast. In the Instant Pot it only takes an hour or two start to finish. That being said you can easily make this recipe in a slow cooker too. Check the recipe card for details.

Instant Pot Pork & Pepper Stew In A Nutshell

The peppers I used for this dish are poblanos, cubanelles and bell peppers. I could have put a few jalapeños too but that might have made it too hot. However if you like it hot, I would thinly slice a few jalapenos, place them in a bowl and garnish with them. You can use any type of pepper you want but I suggest the poblanos as they have a special taste to me.  The nutritional information for 1 serving (and this makes a lot) is: 

343 cals/ 15.8g fat / 7.9 carbs / 1.1g fiber / 41.4g protein = 6.8g net carbs

    Would it take away from the flavor to add potatoes?

      Hi Barb, no it won’t take away at all. This is mostly a low carb blog so I don’t add potatoes much but I think it would go very nicely!
