Instant Pot Sausage And Peppers Food

EASY INSTANT POT SAUSAGE AND RICE

Steps:

• Before you even heat up your Instant Pot, be sure to prep your ingredients and have them ready to go.
• Press "Sauté" on your Instant Pot.
• Once it's heated up, add the olive oil, garlic, and onion, sautéing 'til they become soft.
• Add in the sausage slices, and brown for a good 1 to 2 minutes.
• Then sprinkle in the seasonings, and add the rice and chicken broth, mixing everything together.
• Place the lid on your Instant Pot, set the valve to seal, and press "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" with a cook time of 5 minutes. Allow it to do a natural release.
• Once it's released, go ahead and remove the lid, and stir in the thawed peas. Put the lid back on, and allow those peas to warm for about 5 minutes. No need to turn on the pot; just let everything sit in its own warmth.
• Then stir and fluff the rice, and serve it up!

SAUSAGE AND RICE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Set the Instant Pot on SAUTE settings and keep it on NORMAL heat setting.
• Add oil and when it becomes hot add the diced smoked sausages and brown them both sides. Set them aside.
• In the same pot add the onion and garlic and saute until they begin to become limp. Throw in the bell peppers and saute for 30 seconds.
• Add the liquid and de-glaze the pot very well with the help of a spatula scraping the sides and bottom of the pot to loosen any food particles. This will prevent the Burn error. Also add salt according to your taste preference.
• CANCEL the SAUTE function and rinse the rice very well under running tap water until clear water runs through. This will prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
• Add the rinsed rice into the pot and gently press down with the help of the spatula. Do not mix.
• Dump the canned diced tomatoes on top of the rice. DO NOT MIX ever! Otherwise you'll end up with BURN error.
• Close the lid of the instant pot and SEAL the valve. PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for 4 minutes.
• When the pressure cooking cycle is over the instant pot will begin to beep. Wait for Natural pressure release (NPR) for 10 minutes and than release the rest of the pressure manually by moving the Valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position. Open the lid carefully when the metal pin drops.
• Gently fluff the rice with the help of a fork or a spatula. The rice will be slightly soft now as it's piping hot. As it gradually cools down it'll have the perfect consistency.
• Now, add back the browned sausages and mix with the rice.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!
