Easy Instant Pot Sausage and Rice

Step 1

Before you even heat up your Instant Pot, be sure to prep your ingredients and have them ready to go.

Step 2

Press “Sauté” on your Instant Pot.

Step 3

Once it's heated up, add the olive oil, garlic, and onion, sautéing 'til they become soft.

Step 4

Add in the sausage slices, and brown for a good 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 5

Then sprinkle in the seasonings, and add the rice and chicken broth, mixing everything together.

Step 6

Place the lid on your Instant Pot, set the valve to seal, and press “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” with a cook time of 5 minutes. Allow it to do a natural release.

Step 7

Once it's released, go ahead and remove the lid, and stir in the thawed peas. Put the lid back on, and allow those peas to warm for about 5 minutes. No need to turn on the pot; just let everything sit in its own warmth.

Step 8

Then stir and fluff the rice, and serve it up!
