Ingredients

Instant Pot Cabbage Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (236ml) chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large head of cabbage roughly chopped to 1-inch sections
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  • Pour the stock into the Instant Pot insert and add the butter.
  • Next, add the cabbage into the insert and make sure that it is below the Instant Pot fill line.
  • Sprinkle nutmeg over the cabbage. Don’t just dump it in, as you don’t want it to clump.
  • Place the lid on and turn the valve to the sealing position. Set to manual pressure / high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • When done, perform a quick pressure release (QPR) and open the lid.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then gently stir until it is all mixed together well.

Notes

  • When adding your cabbage to the Instant Pot, make sure it does not go above the fill line. If it does, you may need to trim your cabbage more or reposition it inside the Instant Pot insert.
  • When pressure cooking cabbage, do not let the pressure release naturally. Be sure to perform a quick pressure release to avoid soggy, overcooked cabbage.
  • If you like more of a buttery taste to your Pressure Cooker Cabbage, feel free to add more butter to the recipe. I tend to go on the lighter side of things when creating recipes.
  • Serve with a slotted spoon if you don't want any extra cooking liquid.
  • Turn leftovers into a quick easy cabbage soup using extra veggie broth and any other leftover cooked vegetables.
  • I have not tried this with red cabbage. If you have, please come back and tell me how you find it.
  • Cooking time listed does not include time for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure, or for the pressure to release.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
  • There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
