Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 small head of green cabbage, cored and chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook while stirring often for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
- Add Broth and Butter: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the Instant Pot.
- Add Cabbage and Seal: Place the chopped cabbage on top of the broth and butter mixture. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing mode.
- Pressure Cook: Cook the cabbage on high pressure (manual setting) for 7 minutes. Once cooking is done, press cancel and perform a quick release by carefully opening the valve.
- Season and Serve: When the pin drops completely indicating it’s safe to open, remove the lid. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve the cabbage using a slotted spoon for best results.
Notes
- Be careful not to let the garlic burn during sautéing, as it can develop a bitter flavor.
- Using fresh ground black pepper enhances the flavor compared to pre-ground pepper.
- The quick release ensures the cabbage doesn’t overcook and become mushy.
- This dish pairs well with hearty mains like roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth if available.
