Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 14 ounces sausage (any type), cut into rounds
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 cups broth
  • 2 teaspoons creole or Cajun seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 28 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes (undrained)
  • 1 4 ounce can green chiles
  • 1 cup frozen sliced okra
Directions
  1. Add the oil to the Instant Pot and select the sauté setting. Add the sausage and cook for 6 minutes, stirring to cook both sides. Remove it from the Instant Pot.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper, green pepper, and celery, and sauté for 6 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Remove the vegetables from the Instant Pot.
  4. Add the butter and flour to the Instant Pot to create a roux. Cook for 3 minutes stirring constantly.
  5. Add the sautéed veggies and sausage, as well as the broth, creole seasoning, oregano, salt, thyme, and pepper. Stir to combine, then dump the tomatoes on top and do not stir (this prevents the burn setting from coming on). Select the cancel button. Put the lid on and set the nozzle to "sealing."
  6. Select the pressure cook button and make sure it is set to high pressure. Set the time for 20 minutes. When the 20 minutes is up, carefully switch the nozzle to "venting." Stand back as the steam will release out of the top of the Instant Pot.
  7. Stir in the okra and select sauté again. Cook for 5 more minutes uncovered.
  8. Top with jalapeño, cilantro, and rice, if desired. Serve.
