    This Instant Pot Chickpea and Brown Rice Stew is a complete, balanced
    meal and is so simple - just add all the ingredients to the Instant
    Pot and dinner will be waiting for you! Healthy, vegan, gluten-free,
    oil-free, nut-free, and soy-free.

    Pour the vegetable broth into the Instant Pot. Add the soaked and
    drained chickpeas, onions, fennel, garlic, whole thyme leaves, broth,
    brown rice, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to
    combine.

    Pour the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce on top of the other
    ingredients, but do not stir, allowing the tomatoes to sit on top
    (this prevents the tomatoes from blocking the Instant Pot's heat
    sensory and burning).

    Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Select the
    Pressure Cook setting at high pressure and set the cook time to
    12 minutes.

    Once the 12-minute timer has completed and beeps, allow a natural
    pressure release for 10 minutes and then switch the Pressure Release
    knob from Sealing to Venting to release any remaining steam.

    Open the pot and stir in the greens and lemon juice. Select the
    Sauté́ setting and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the greens are
    wilted and the stew has slightly thickened. Season to taste with
    additional salt and black pepper as needed. Transfer stew to
    individual bowls and garnish with the chopped parsley and the
    reserved fennel fronds. Store leftovers in the fridge for up 5 to 6
    days.
