Put your Instant Pot (or similar electric pressure cooker) on the sauté function, add in 2-3 tbsp of water, your diced onion and minced garlic and let sauté until fragrant (about 5 minutes).
Turn the Instant Pot off and add in the rest of your ingredients.
Put the pressure cooker on manual high pressure (or pressure cook), make sure the sealing vent is closed and cook for 15 minutes. Let it naturally release pressure for 5 minutes.
