Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups chicken broth
½ cup Italian polenta
¼ cup fat-free half-and-half
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
4 Italian turkey sausage links
12 ounces marinara sauce
1 medium onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1 pinch crushed red pepper
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Combine chicken broth, polenta, and half-and-half in a medium-sized heat-resistant glass bowl, such as Pyrex®. Set aside.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour in grapeseed oil and allow to get hot. Add sausages and cook until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in marinara sauce, onion, and bell pepper; mix to combine. Place a trivet into the pot and set the bowl of polenta on top of the trivet. Close and lock the lid.
  • Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

I'm not a fan of Italian sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It was still very good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my polenta turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The polenta was a little too thick for my taste, but the sausage and sauce were delicious.

I used spicy sausage and it gave the dish a nice kick. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
