Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine to deglaze the pot and let it almost completely evaporate to concentrate the flavor and remove most of the liquid. Stir in the chicken broth, tomato paste, bay leaf , thyme and carrots. Add the browned chicken to the pot, along with any juices that have collected on the platter. Cover pot and lock lid in place. Select High Pressure and 10 minutes cook time. (It will take about 10 minutes to reach high pressure.) While the chicken is cooking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil and butter. When butter is melted, add the mushrooms and cook until golden. Season with salt and pepper. When timer beeps, do a quick pressure release and remove the chicken from the pressure cooker pot to a serving dish. Combine the cornstarch and water, whisking until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture to the sauce in the pot stirring constantly. Select Simmer and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. After sauce thickens, add mushrooms and stir to coat with sauce.

Pressure-Cooker Coq au Vin image

Traditionally, this French bistro classic involves braising chicken slowly in red wine. But when coq au vin is made in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker, the deeply satisfying flavor is equal to that of traditional stovetop simmering-in about a third of the time. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Pressure Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).
