Savory sausage and earthy lentils are a perfect pairing in this quick, easy pressure cooker dinner recipe.
Quick release, as the name implies, involves opening the pressure release valve immediately after cooking to allow steam inside the pot to rapidly escape. Doing so lowers the temperature quickly, but it also means that the contents inside the pot will begin to boil vigorously—something that doesn't happen when the contents are under pressure.
Instead, it’s best to briefly naturally release some pressure before opening. A natural release with a multicooker involves simply letting the pot sit off heat for some time to allow the temperature to gradually decrease until the spring-loaded lock disengages. I found letting the pot sit and naturally release pressure for just ten minutes, before releasing the remaining pressure via the quick-release method, ensured that both the lentils and sausage remained unbroken.
In under 30 minutes from start to finish, the efficient high heat of a pressure cooker results in spoon-tender sausage and lentils enveloped in an intensely flavored broth that clings to every lentil. It’s a perfect pressah-cookin’–sweatah-weathah recipe.In essence, a pressure cooker is a tightly sealed pot that traps steam as the food inside it heats.
