Spicy Butternut Squash and Chickpeas

Chickpeas and butternut squash make this dish hearty enough for a main course, and the spinach gives it some color. Leftover stew is delicious the next day served with some crusty bread.

1. In the Instant Pot, combine the chickpeas, onion, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, salt, turmeric, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, and water.

2. Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL and set the pot at High pressure for 35 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, use a quick release to depressurize.

3. Add the frozen butternut squash and the spinach. Close the lid. Select PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL and set the Instant Pot at High pressure for 0 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, use a quick release to depressurize.

4. Open the lid and stir the stew. The butternut squash will disintegrate, making a thick purée for the chickpeas. Stir in the lemon juice. Transfer to serving bowls and serve hot.

NOTE : If you would like to keep the butternut squash in whole chunks for this dish, steam it in the microwave or on the stovetop until it is tender-crisp and add it to the cooked chickpeas just before serving.
