Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium yellow onion (minced)
  • 1 pound sliced sausage link*
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup long grain rice*
  • 1 cup frozen peas (thawed)

Directions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Press “Sauté” on your Instant Pot.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

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