Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion (diced)

This is the recipe that makes everyone in my family happy. It’s the one I make so frequently I know it by heart. Thank you for this easy, delicious, satisfying meal!
This is the first recipe I tried in an Instant pot and it was Delicious! 3 out of 4 kids LOVED it ( the 4th doesn’t really like anything so we don’t count on her vote). Thank you for creating a pressure cooker recipe, it was much easier to use than I had imagined.
I too was a bit intimidated by the Instant Pot and am glad to see you giving it a try and publishing your recipe. This inspires me to dedicate a bit more time to using it. I made this, and it turned out well. Please do more Instant Pot recipes and thanks.
