Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Bell Pepper Diced
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • ½ Stick Butter
  • ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoon Creole Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Cayenne Powder
  • 10 Oz Okra frozen and sliced
  • 14 Can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 4 Cups Vegetable Broth

Instructions
 

  • Turn your instant pot onto sauté mode. Once it is hot add your oil and onions. Sauté until translucent for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add to your onions your bell pepper. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add in your minced garlic. Sauté for one minute.
  • Remove from your instant pot and set aside in a separate bowl.
  • With your instant pot still on sauté, melt the butter. Once butter is melted, whisk in the flour to build your roux. If the roux is too thick, dough-like, add a splash of the broth to thin it out. If the roux is too thin, whisk in more flour teaspoon at a time. Roux should be a gravy-like consistency.
  • Add to your roux your cooked vegetables that you set aside. Mix.
  • Add your creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, frozen okra, tomatoes, and broth. Set your instant pot to high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Once your instant pot is done cooking, do a quick release by releasing the valve.
  • Serve while warm as is, or over a bed of rice! Enjoy!
