ABSOLUTE AMERICAN VODKA RECIPES

Steps:

• Select Sauté and adjust to More/High heat. When the pot is hot, add the ground beef and pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain off the fat.
• Return the pot to the appliance and add the oil. Add the onion, carrot, celery, pancetta, and baking soda and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring continuously, until it begins to brown, 1 minute. Add the vermouth and simmer for 1 minute to burn off some of the alcohol, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Press Cancel.
• Return the meat to the pot and add the tomatoes, broth, cheese rind (if using), and bay leaf. Lock on the lid, select the Pressure Cook function, and adjust to High pressure for 30 minutes. Make sure the steam valve is in the “Sealing” position and that the “Keep Warm” button is off.
• When the cooking time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure. Discard the cheese rind and bay leaf. Add the cream (if using), and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
