Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add the sliced sausage. Cook it stirring, until it browns. Then take it out and set it aside for a few minutes.
- Pour a 1/4 cup of the chicken broth in the Instant Pot to deglaze it. Scrape the bottom and make sure no browned bits of meat are stuck to the bottom.
- Add the oil and flour and stir to create a roux. Slowly cook it and let it thicken for 10 minutes, until it is a light brown color. *See note below.
- Add the onion, celery, green pepper and garlic and cook them for 5 minutes.
- Add the browned sausage, broth, okra, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning and gumbo file. Stir to mix everything together.
- Dump the can of tomatoes into the pot, but don't stir it in. Leaving the tomatoes on top reduces the chances of getting a burn error.
- Seal the lid and pressure valve and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for it to reach pressure.
- Manually release pressure by flipping the valve open and stir in the shrimp. Put the lid back on and let it sit for 5 minutes to heat the shrimp.
- Sprinkle with green onions and serve over rice.
Notes
- If you want a darker roux (which is traditional for gumbo) you can cook it for longer, up to 30-45 minutes.
- You can't control the saute function temperature on an Instant Pot, which means it might cook the roux at a higher temperature than is ideal. If you really care about getting a perfect roux I suggest cooking it in a pan on the stove where you have more temperature control.
- I make and test my recipes in a 6 quart Instant Pot. Another brand or size of pressure cooker might affect your results.
