Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 5 Mild Italian Sausage Links
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 1 White Onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Place instant pot setting to “sauté”. Then add in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Next, place the Italian sausage in the Instant Pot and cook for 5 minutes. Make sure to turn 1 to 2 times until brown on both sides.
  • Then added the whole garlic cloves and white onion and sauté for an additional 5 minutes into onions begin to become translucent and color.
  • Deglaze the pot with a half cup of water. Use a wooden spoon to break up the brown bits on the bottom of the pot.
  • Turn the Instant pot off. Place the lid on the Instant Pot making sure the valve is set to “sealing“.
  • Select the “meat” setting for 10 minutes. It will take the Instant Pot roughly 10 minutes to come to pressure before the timer begins.
  • Once the sausage is done, carefully force the pressure by releasing the pressure valve using a pot holder and a dish cloth.
  • Remove the lid from the Instant Pot. Mix well and divide evenly among plates.

Notes

  • You can leave the sausage in the Instant Pot on the “keep warm“ setting until ready to serve.
  • Any leftover Italian sausage should be stored in the air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
