Instructions
Instructions
- Wash the head of cabbage, remove the core, and cut into large wedges or chunks that will fit in the Instant Pot insert.
- Place the cabbage pieces in the Instant Pot. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, quickly break the wedges apart so the leaves separate into individual pieces.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper over the cabbage.
- Pour in 1 cup vegetable stock.
- Secure the lid and set the steam release to SEALING. Select PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL on high pressure and set the time for 4 minutes. (The cooker will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure.)
- When the cooking program ends, carefully perform a quick release by moving the steam release to VENTING (keep hands and face away). Wait until the float valve drops.
- Open the lid away from you, stir the cabbage to distribute the butter and seasonings evenly, and serve.
Notes
You can either shred the cabbage or cut it into cubes like I did but make sure that the pieces are not too small.Aim for 1.5-inch size.
Avoid soft lead cabbage types such as Napa and savoy.Go for white or green cabbage instead.
You cansaute a diced onionbefore adding the cabbage to the pot for extra flavor.
I like buttered cabbage just slightly firm,if you like it very tender then add 1 minute to the cooking time(5 minutes in total).
