The Method
Select the SAUTE function and then the VEG CAULIFLOWER program and press START. Add the oil and allow to heat for 1-2 mins.
Add the onion slices and garlic and fry for 5 mins until soft and starting to brown.
Add the smoked paprika and chilli powder and fry for a further 2 mins so the spices start to give off a lovely aroma and a nice paste forms.
Add the squash and stir to coat. Add the red pepper, tomatoes, black beans, stock and salt and stir to combine. Press BACK to stop the program.
Put the lid on, check the pressure valve is closed then select PRESSURE COOK function and then the CURRY VEG program and press START.
When the program has finished allow a SLOW RELEASE and open the lid.
Taste and add lemon juice if the stew needs a hint of sharpness and adjust seasoning.
Serve with a generous sprinkling of parsley.
