INSTANTPOT STUFFED PEPPERS – MIND BODY KETO STYLE
INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium green peppers
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage
- 3 c riced cauliflower
- 1/2 c minced onion
- 1 cup low sugar tomato sauce (I used Rao’s marinara), divided
- 4 Tbsp flax meal
- 1 cup water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Core & deseed peppers and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine sausage, cauliflower, flaxseed, onion, and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Combine well with your hands or a fork and then divide evenly among the hollowed out peppers.
- Place stuffing-side-up in the @instantpotofficial and combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sauce with 1 cup of water, pouring into the bottom of the pot.
- Secure lid and set to manual pressure cook, high pressure, for 15 minutes. Once finished, you can either wait for pressure to release gradually, or very carefully flip the switch to vent quickly – MAKE SURE YOU AVOID THAT STEAM! It’s HOT!
- Remove lid, serve, and enjoy with or without a little sprinkle of cheese. Otherwise, these guys are totally paleo, too!
