🍅 BASIC INSTANT POT MARINARA

🍅 Tomatoes – ripe (but still firm) works best
🧅 Onions – I like Red Onion but anything from Spring Onions to Shallots will work
🌶️ Peppers – Bell, Poblano, Anaheim, Jalapeño or Shishito (*optional)
🍄 Mushroom (*optional)
🥕 Carrots/Celery (*optional)
🧄 Garlic
🌿 Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Basil to taste
🧂 Seasoning of your choice to taste – I like Minced Onion, Parsley Flakes, Smoked Chili Sea Salt, Nutritional Yeast, Soy Sauce, Italian Seasoning

🔪 Roughly chop vegetables. Add everything to the pot and set for 25min on Pressure/Manual. Natural Release for 15min. No liquid added/needed as the tomatoes release plenty of their own.

🔹If you want a thicker sauce, add a can of tomato paste.
🔹If you want a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender or in a food processor.

👩🏻‍🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY
3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days.

I made her the BLUE APRON Pork Chorizo Enchilada kit. There was about 2oz of extra filling (Chorizo, Red Pepper, Yellow Onion, tomato sauce) which I ate.
