Instant Pot Collard Greens
Description
Instant Pot Collard Greens bring together roughly chopped collard or turnip greens and salt pork cooked with diced onions. Starting with sautéing the pork and onions crisps the pork and softens the onions, releasing rich flavors. Adding chicken broth helps deglaze the pot and creates a cooking liquid that infuses the greens with savory notes. Vinegar adds a bright tang that balances the pork’s richness. Cooking under high pressure for 10 minutes softens the greens thoroughly while preserving their color and texture.
The combination of pork and poultry broth ensures depth in the dish, and seasoning with salt and pepper finishes it off to taste. This recipe produces a savory, slightly smoky side with tender, well-infused greens that complement hearty meals. It’s a practical way to enjoy collard greens more quickly than traditional slow simmer methods.
