📝 Preparation Steps

Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE on HI. Add half the oil and let heat for 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add half the mushrooms, stir to coat in the oil, then let cook, undisturbed, until they are lightly golden brown on the bottom. Stir and let cook until beginning to soften. Remove to a plate, and repeat with the remaining oil and mushrooms.

Return all the mushrooms to the pot and add the blended chile mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has changed color to a dark red and is fragrant. Add the water and turn the Instant Pot off for a moment.

Drain the hominy, give one last rinse, and add to the Instant Pot. Seal the Instant Pot. Select Pressure Cook HIGH (manual) for ⏱️ 10 minutes. It will take about ⏱️ 15 minutes for the machine to come up to pressure before the cooking cycle begins. When the ⏱️ 10 minutes of pressure cooking has finished, let the pressure release naturally for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes. Quick release the remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid. Taste and season with salt as needed.
