Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 oz mushrooms
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 t dried basil

Method
 

  1. Set the electric pressure cooker to Saute.
  2. Slice or beak up the sausage, and drop it in bits into the hot pot. Stir.
  3. Chop the onion, and slice the mushrooms, stirring the sausage periodically.
  4. Add the vegetables to the pot. Stir, and saute a few minutes until the onion starts to soften.
  5. Add tomatoes and basil.
  6. Set the pressure cooker to High Pressure, and to 10 minutes. Place the lid on it, make sure the vent is closed, and turn it on.
  7. When it is finished, let the pressure release naturally, then serve.

Notes

I allowed extra "Prep time" in the recipe to account for time the pressure cooker spends heating up - but that's not time you work!
