One day I wanted to eat a comforting stew but I did not want to cut any vegetables. My pantry came in handy. And so did my Instant Pot.  I also cooked rice in my rice cooker at the same time.  Then after a short time later I ate happily ever after. 

Pantry Friendly Instant Pot Vegan Stew

• 1 - 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 -15 oz can sweet peas, drained and rinsed
• 1 - 15 oz can mixed vegetables, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup from 1- can black olives, drained and rinsed
• 1 large piece of roasted red pepper in a jar, chopped

Add all the ingredients in the Instant Pot and cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes then quick release.

Serve over rice.

This stew is even better the next day.
