🍅 BASIC INSTANT POT (or similar) 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 thinner sauce, add a can of crushed tomatoes or 1 cup of your favorite stock.

🔹If you want a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender or in a food processor after it has cooled.

🔹 If you want a chunky style Farmhouse Sauce, chop your veggies into appropriate size pieces to leave intact after cooking.
