Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Medium Cauliflower
  • 1 Tsp dried herbs
  • salt & pepper
Kitchen Gadgets
  • Instant Pot
  • Steamer basket

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Let’s pressure cook cauliflower! Place 1.5 cups (360ml) of water into your instant pot. Then add your steamer basket ready for loading up with cauliflower florets.
  2. Next chop the cauliflower into medium florets and load them into the steamer basket.
  3. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper and some mixed herbs and then add the lid, set the valve to sealing and pressure cook cauliflower in the instant pot for 4 minutes followed by a quick pressure release.
  4. Do a fork test to make sure the instant pot florets are soft and then serve.

Notes

  • Liquid. If I am just steaming cauliflower in instant pot I don’t bother with any instant pot veggie stock and just use water.
  • Size. For pressure cooker cauliflower size does matter. Medium florets will take 4 minutes to be fork tender, however if you do small florets go with 3 minutes otherwise they will end up mushy.
