Instant Pot Tomato Sauce With 10 Vegetables Recipes

INSTANT POT TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Set the Instant Pot to the Sauté mode on high. Once it's hot, add in the olive oil. Add in the onions and carrots, and sauté while stirring frequently until the onions and golden and starting to turn transparent (about 5 minutes). Add in the garlic and sauté until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add in the water, and use the end of a wooden spoon to scrape up any of the flavorful bits on the bottom. Turn the Instant Pot off.
• Add in the tomatoes, and mix with the onions. Sprinkle the spices over the top of the tomatoes (not on the bottom of the pot).
• Close the lid of the Instant Pot, and set the steam release valve to the sealing position. Select Manual (or Pressure Cook depending on your model), and then cook the tomato sauce on high pressure for 20 minutes.
• After the Instant Pot has finished cooking, allow it to natural release for 10 minutes before moving the steam release valve to the venting position to let the pressure fully release. Carefully remove the lid.
• Using an immersion blender, purée the sauce until it's smooth.
• Set the Instant Pot to the sauté mode, and sauté on low for about 60 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened up (you want to avoid boiling the sauce). Alternatively, you could skip this step and mix in a 6-ounce can of tomato paste to thicken it. Taste, and adjust the spices.
