Instant Pot Burst Tomatoes

Step 1

Add tomatoes and water to the pressure cooker pot.  Add garlic on top of the tomatoes (this will keep the garlic from burning on the bottom of the pot).  Sprinkle with herbs, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 1 minute.

Step 3

When cooking is complete, use a quick release.

Step 4

Taste and add extra salt, if needed.

Step 5

Serve the tomatoes as is, or use a potato masher to lightly mash them for a more saucy texture.

Step 6

Serve hot over pasta, on garlic bread, as a topping on a margarita pizza, over Polenta, or scoop onto Socca Bread.
