Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut kale into thirds, and remove the stems if you like. If you're using bacon, cut them into bite-size pieces.
  2. Saute Sausages or Bacon: Press "Saute" button to "Sauté More" function to heat up Instant Pot. Wait until it says "HOT" on the screen (roughly 8 minutes). If you're using sausage, add 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in Instant Pot's inner pot. Make sure you cover the whole bottom with oil. *Bacon Tip: If you're using bacon, you don't need the olive oil. Add ~1lb sliced sausages in Instant Pot, then saute for 4 minutes.
  3. Saute Onions & Spices: Add onion slices in Instant Pot, then saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add in minced garlic, then saute for 30 seconds.
  4. Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour in ¾ cup (188ml) unsalted chicken stock, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot.
