Directions
- 1
Peel and slice the onions into thick rings. Spread half of them in an even layer across the bottom of the pressure cooker.
- 2
Pierce each sausage several times with a fork or toothpick so the fat can release during cooking.
- 3
Lay the sausages over the onion bed. Add thyme, bay leaf and black pepper to taste. Cover with the remaining onions.
- 4
Seal the pressure cooker. Bring to pressure over high heat, then reduce to low as soon as steam starts to release. Cook for 25 minutes.
- 5
Allow pressure to drop naturally before opening. Serve sausages topped with the melted onions and all the cooking juices.
💡 Chef's Tip
No liquid needed — sausages and onions naturally release plenty of juice. Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up every drop of the delicious broth.
