Instant Pot Cabbage
Description
This Instant Pot Cabbage recipe prepares cabbage wedges seasoned with salt, garlic, and thyme, then pressure cooked in chicken stock and butter. The pressure cooker reduces cooking time while infusing the cabbage with savory flavors from the stock and seasonings. The garlic and butter complement the natural sweetness of cabbage, and thyme adds a subtle herbaceous note.
Cooking times vary from 3 minutes for slightly crisp cabbage to 6 minutes for a tender texture, with a quick release to preserve the desired doneness. The cabbage is cut into pieces large enough to hold shape during cooking, and rinsed to remove dirt. Optional additional sautéing can soften the cabbage further.
This method suits both quick weeknight meals and batch preparation. It pairs well with meat or grain dishes, adding a comforting vegetable side. Adjust seasoning after cooking to taste.
The notes emphasize that cook times depend on cabbage size and preferences, and users can rate the recipe comments if tried.

Pressure Cook at High Pressure 3 minutes (tender with some crisp) to 6 minutes (tender), then Quick Release. Open the lid carefully.
