Easy Tomato Sauce - Instant Pot Method

Printed from: www.grandmotherskitchen.net

Ingredients

20 (more or less) fresh tomatoes

2-3 medium size onions

2 small sweet peppers

1/2 cup chopped parsley

2 Tablespoons dried oregano flakes

1 teaspoon salt

3-4 garlic cloves (depending on how much garlic you personally like)

Directions

With this type of recipe, it is very much about personal taste. You can add more sweet peppers if you like or if you are wanting to make a 'hot' pasta sauce you can choose to add a bit of hot pepper to the recipe.

1. Wash the tomatoes and blanch them to remove the skins. Chop into small pieces in a large bowl

2. Chop the onions and peppers into small pieces. Remove the skin from the garlic and cut into small pieces. Chop the parsley.

3. Place all the ingredients into the instant pot. We used enough tomatoes to go to the fill line in our instant pot. The number of tomatoes will vary according to their size.

4. Secure cover, turn valve to seal. Press Manual pressure and set the timer to 15 minutes. The instant pot takes about 10 minutes to come to pressure and start counting down. Once the time is up, leave the lid on and let it release naturally until the lid opens on its own.

5. When the instant pot lid will open, remove it and let the sauce sit until room temperature before transferring into the plastic containers. Place into the freezer. It is a good idea to date the containers so you know when you made the sauce.

ENJOY!
