People have told me this is better than the gravy their Sicilian grandmothers used to make. But don't tell the older generation that! —Emory Doty, Jasper, Georgia
Pressure-Cooker Sicilian Meat Sauce Recipe photo by Taste of Home
2 cans (28 ounces each ) crushed or diced tomatoes
1 can (6 ounces) Italian tomato paste
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped capers, drained
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
Hot cooked pasta
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Directions
Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for high heat; add 2 Tbsp. olive oil. In batches, brown the pork on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining oil to pressure cooker; saute onion for 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute more. Add next 11 ingredients. Transfer meat to pressure cooker. Pour in broth and red wine; bring to a light boil. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust pressure to high and set time for 35 minutes. When finished cooking, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes and then quick-release any remaining pressure.
Discard bay leaves. Remove meat from pressure cooker; shred or pull apart, discarding bones. Return meat to sauce. Serve over pasta; if desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

I had the same issue with the burn error. It took some effort but I eventually got it to work. The end result was wonderful. I'll try it again.

My family and I had high hopes for this receipt and very disappointed as our instant pot hit the burn error twice! We de-glazed the pot twice and the bottom of the pot keeping burning so we disbanded the effort and went to a our regular sauce pot.

This was one of the first Instant Pot recipes I tried, and was a real success at my house!

DELICIOSO! A truly authentic Sicilian gravy robust and full of flavor. Due to personal preferences in spices, I added 1 tsp. of oregano, and omitted the thyme and capers. Instead of ribs, I used 2 lbs. of pork loin (not tenderloin), prepared it as directed and it was fork tender. It does make a large quantity, I will be freezing some for future meals. So easy, definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing Emory!
