Instant Pot Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 bay leaf
Instructions
1
Activate your pressure cooker and choose the Saute mode to heat it up. Next, add a generous amount of olive oil and sliced onion into the pot; cook until the onion becomes translucent, taking anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until it releases its fragrance, approximately 1 minute later.
2
Now, pour in a good quality red wine and let it simmer until the liquid has reduced by half.
3
Add diced tomatoes and whole tomatoes to the pot, stirring gently to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add a few sprigs of fresh basil, some dried oregano, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and a bay leaf to the pot. Close the lid and press the Keep Warm button.
4
Lock the lid securely in place and seal the vent to ensure everything stays inside. Set your pressure cooker to Manual mode and set a timer for 10 minutes. Allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
5
Release the pressure carefully using the quick-release method as instructed by your manufacturer, taking around 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid carefully. Discard the bay leaf that was added earlier. Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce to your desired consistency.
