Courses: Sauces2 tablespoons | 30ml | Olive oil |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Garlic cloves - minced (large) |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Onion - coarsely chopped (large) |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Tomato paste |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Salt |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Balsamic vinegar |

And coarsely chopped to equal 2 quarts | ||
1 cup | 237ml | Fresh basil - (lightly packed) |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Freshly-chopped parsley |
Heat oil in a 5-quart or larger pressure cooker. Add garlic and onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, pepper, salt, vinegar and basil. Stir until mixture begins to come to a boil.
Close lid and bring pressure to the second red ring (15 pounds pressure) over medium-high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to stabilize pressure at the second red ring and cook for 7 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool until the pressure comes down naturally.
Remove the lid. Sauce will have some excess liquid depending on your tomatoes. Place the cooker over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning until the sauce begins to thicken. Add parsley in the last few minutes of cooking.
This recipe yields 6 to 10 servings.
