Ingredients

  • 1 small head of green cabbage chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Turn the instant pot to sautee. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter along with the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Be careful not to burn.
  • Add the vegetable broth and remaining 4 tablespoons of butter the the instant pot
  • Place the chopped cabbage on top and put the lid on the instant pot. Set the instant pot to sealing.
  • Cook the cabbage on high (manual) for 7 minutes, press cancel, then do a quick release
  • Once the pin drops completely, remove the lid, and salt and pepper to taste. Fresh ground pepper is the best choice here! Serve with a slotted spoon. (see notes below for more tips)

Notes

1. If your head of cabbage is larger, you can add 1-2 more tablespoons of butter, but the vegetable broth should still be fine at 1 cup.
2. For softer cabbage, cook an additional 1-3 minutes on high pressure. For cabbage with more crunch, you can lower the time to 5-6 minutes, if you want.
