Time: 1 hour
Serves: 4-6
 
Ingredients
 
500g Lamb Pieces (Bone-in)
250g Pork Sausage
1 Onion (diced)
2 Carrots (peeled and diced)
1 Celery Stalk (diced)
3 Garlic cloves (crushed)
5 Sprigs Rosemary
5 Sprigs Thyme
2 Bay Leaves
75g Tomato Paste
1 Tin Chopped Tomato
125ml Red Wine
500ml Chicken Stock
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil

Method
 
Turn the Instant Pot on and set it to 'More' on the Saute setting by clicking the Saute button again.

Season and brown the lamb in batches in your InstantPot followed by the pork sausages which should be removed from the skin and broken up as much as possible while browning. Once finished browning turn the heat down to 'Normal' on the Saute setting.

Add the chopped onion, carrot and celery to the pot and fry for 2 minutes before adding the herbs (thyme, rosemary, bay leaf) and garlic. Fry slowly for 10 minutes to allow the vegetables to start to caramelise and develop real flavour.

Re-add the meat to the pot and put the tomato paste in as well. Stir well so the paste is coating as much as possible in the pot and fry for 1 minute before deglazing the pan with wine. Simmer for 2 minutes then add the tinned tomatoes and the stock.

Seal the pot and set it on High Pressure for 40 Minutes. 

The ragu is ready when the lamb is soft and falling off the bone. Season it to your liking.
