1 Cup dried chick peas soak overnight
1 Cup of dried cannellini beans, soak overnight
1/4 Cup tomato puree
2 carrots, chopped
2 white turnips, chopped
1 fresh red chili pepper, chopped
Spray the cooker lightly with a non stick cooking spray.

Cook until just beginning to brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the cooker.
Add the chard, soaked chick peas and soaked beans.

Bring the cooker to high pressure.
Cook for 25 minutes then let the pressure fall on its own.
Stews are a great place to hide vegetables. Cut them into small pieces and they will never know they are there. This stew can be made without the chili pepper if you prefer a not so spicy version.
