Ingredients:1 cup (250 ml) water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil, 1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) slices, 1 large bell pepper, cored and cut into medium chunks, half of the large yellow onion, peeled and sliced, 1 large jar marinara sauce, shredded Mozzarella cheese, 1 cup (250 ml) grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Italian seasoning, 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) cayenne pepper
Instructions: Sprinkle sliced eggplant with salt and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Stir well and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in an electric instant pot turned to the sauté mode. Add sliced onion and bell pepper. Cover the pot and sauté for 5 minutes. Open the lid and remove the cooked onion and bell pepper. Set aside.
Add a layer of marinara sauce to a large baking pan. Pat eggplant dry with paper towels and add them to cover the sauce layer. Top with a layer of sautéed onions and peppers. Sprinkle with shredded Mozzarella cheese, then with grated Parmesan cheese. Top with another layer of marinara sauce and continue layering until the pan is full.
Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil, then place a trivet in the cooker and pour in water. Place the baking pan in the pressure cooker. Cover the pot and lock the lid. Set the machine to cook at high pressure. Set the timer to cook for 11 minutes.
Using the Natural Release method, bring pressure to normal. Unlock and open the lid. Using the foil sling, carefully remove the pan from the instant pot and set it aside. Allow cooling for a few minutes.
