But I promised I’d post more recipes that weren’t too complicated yet still were great on flavor. So here’s to delicious cabbage made right in your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.
My family and I love to visit different churches in the rural parts of North Carolina. One of our favorite churches feeds us after service and it’s some of the best soul food cooking you can have. I’m talking baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, and cabbage. The cabbage is perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and so very delicious. So I converted the recipe to my Instant Pot so I can have cabbage whenever I want. In order to cook this cabbage in the Pressure Cooker, start by washing and cutting the cabbage. First, cut the cabbage in half.
Then core the cabbage by removing the tough stems. This buttered Instant Pot Cabbage is easy and delicious and can be made right in your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Lay the cabbage side by side and cut each half into four separate pieces. Then, slice across the pieces and cut cabbage into 1 inch pieces. It shall fall apart into a ton of pieces but that is ok.
First, add your liquid to the insert. I use 1 cup of chicken broth. Then add your butter and lay your cut cabbage on top. You can fill your Instant Pot to the top so long as the cabbage doesn’t interfere with closing of the lid or touch the lid when closed. The cabbage will shrink when cooking.
I do the same thing when I make my Pressure Cooker Collard Greens. Once you’ve placed your cabbage in the pressure cooker, cover and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Once your timer is done, do a quick release and add your salt and pepper. How long does it take to cook cabbage in a pressure cooker? I prefer 6 minutes as it makes the cabbage nice and soft but not too mushy. For cabbage with a little more crisp, you can reduce the time to 4 minutes. My pressure cooker takes about 15 minutes to come to pressure with this recipe.
You can sub vegetable broth for chicken broth if you want to make it Vegeterian. Add other vegetables like carrots or thick cut potatoes as well. Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Once done, press Cancel on Instant Pot. Once all pressure is released, open lid.
Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Notes This recipe was prepared in a 6Qt Instant Pot Duo. You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. You can also omit the butter, but then it wouldn’t be buttered cabbage.
I highly recommend investing in a good black pepper grinder. There is nothing like fresh ground pepper. Find all my Top Southern Air Fryer recipes in one place! Click the bell icon to be notified when I upload a new video.
