The old version had double the amount of chickpeas and double the amount of tomatoes. Those are both high in carbs. I replaced them with mushrooms, peppers, and olives, which are all low in carbs.

Oh my, I HATE it when I make mistakes like that! I only used one tablespoon tomato paste. Will fix the recipe right now, and thanks for telling me.

How much do you recommend to use? This has so many of my favorite ingredients can’t wait to try it.

So glad you have enjoyed it. I’m guessing you can make it in the Instant Pot. But without trying it I wouldn’t be able to tell you exactly how to do it; I don’t think I’m experienced enough with the Instant Pot to do that. Seems like the tricky part is how long you can pressure cooker canned beans without turning them to mush. Maybe try googling that and see if you find any recipes that are similar? And if you do try it, I’d love to hear how it goes!

It’s a monthly hit in our family, if not more. Question – is there a way to do this recipe in the Instant Pot? I got rid of my slow cooker when I got my Instant Pot. I still make it using the Slow Cook function, but I’m wondering if there is a quicker way?

I made it overnight last night to take for lunch today and I've already shared the recipe with my coworker. I used fire-roasted diced tomatoes because that's what I had, and just a little splash of red wine, maybe 1/4 cup (I am bad about measuring and cook by "feel") just for some added depth of flavor. I totally forgot to bring the pesto with me (sad face) but it is really good without so I bet it's even better with! This is definitely going into the rotation.

I'm sure you can make this in the oven, but since I haven't done it that way I wouldn't be able to guess how long and what temperature would be best. I bet you could find something similar enough by googling to give you an idea though. Good luck, let me know how it works.

I don't have a slow-cooker, but I do have a Le Creuset dutch oven. Can I make this recipe in the oven? If so, what temperature and for how long?
