Instant Pot Sauerkraut Recipes

INSTANT POT KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Turn the Instant Pot onto saute, and allow the liner to get hot. Add oil and sausage pieces (work in batches if necessary).
• Cook until sausage is browned on both sides (about three (3)-five (5) minutes each side).
• Remove sausage pieces from Instant Pot and carefully add water making sure not to splash any grease. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bits from the bottom of liner (de-glaze the pot!!). Turn off the Instant Pot.
• Pour the sauerkraut into the liner, and top with cooked sausage pieces.
• Close the lid and set the valve to sealing. Use the manual (pressure cook) button to adjust the time to zero (0) minutes. The timer will go off as soon as the Instant Pot comes to pressure. Allow the Instant Pot to complete a natural release for ten (10) minutes before opening the valve to release any remaining pressure.
• Open the lid and stir the contents. Serve hot.

PRESSURE COOKER SPARE RIBS AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

INSTANT POT RIBS & SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Mix rub ingredients in a small bowl.
• Remove membrane from the bone side of the ribs--this stops them from curling when cooked.
• Sprinkle the rub on all sides of the ribs. Cut ribs into portions about 2-3 ribs long.
• Slice potatoes (you don't have to bother peeling if you scrub them well) into 1/4-inch slices then place in the the bottom of the Instant pot.
• Add the undrained sauerkraut, apple juice, BBQ sauce, caraway seeds and the brown sugar on top of the potatoes. Place ribs on top of the layered mixture.
• Seal and cook on high pressure for 30-40 minutes--the longer time produces ribs where the meat will fall off the bone. Let pressure reduce naturally for 5 minutes, then release the pressure.
• Remove ribs and stir the sauerkraut mixture.
• Serve ribs on top of the sauerkraut
