Pour the remaining tomatoes and juice into the liner of the pressure cooker along with the water and 1 teaspoon of the dried seasonings.

We use an electric instant pot pressure cooker. You can easily find this online or in stores. Use the trivet, otherwise, you can overcook the bottoms of the peppers. We use our homemade bread crumb recipe, you can use storebought if you prefer.
