Instructions

• 1 Heat the Instant Pot on Saute mode (high setting). Add the oil. When hot, add
  the onions. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes.
• 2 Add the bell pepper and celery. Saute for 3 more minutes.
• 3 Add chicken and sausage. Saute for 3 minutes. Turn off saute mode.
• 4 Add the salt, Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, and chicken broth.
• 5 Stir and deglaze the bottom of the pot.
• 6 Pour the tomatoes on top and press them down to submerge, but don’t stir them
  in.
• 7 Secure the lid and set the vent to sealing (if necessary for your model).
• 8 Set to cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. When the time is up, allow a
  5-minute natural pressure release, then carefully release any remaining
  pressure. Remove the lid.
• 9 Stir in the shrimp and Gumbo file and put the lid back on for 6 minutes (on Keep
  Warm). This will cook the shrimp and slightly thicken the gumbo.
• 10 Remove the lid, stir, and serve over rice.
• 11 Cook the chicken thighs in a frying pan over medium heat until cooked through.
  Set aside.
• 12 Add the olive oil to a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper,
  celery, garlic and salt to the pot and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• 13 Add the Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, crushed tomatoes, beef broth and
  tomato paste. Stir to combine. Add the andouille sausage and butter.
• 14 Simmer for 20 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes
  before adding the gumbo filé. Stir and simmer until the gumbo thickens slightly.
