Instructions

1. Prep the Instant Pot
   • Add water or broth to the pot.
   • Place the cabbage wedges in the pot on top of the liquid.
2. Season

   • Dot with butter or drizzle olive oil over the top.
3. Cook
   • Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to Manual / Pressure Cook on 3–5 minutes for tender cabbage.
     • 3 minutes = slightly crisp-tender
     • 5 minutes = very soft
4. Release Pressure

5. Serve
   • Carefully remove cabbage.
   • Toss with extra butter, cooked bacon, or sausage if desired.

Tips

• Add flavor: Sauté onions or garlic in the Instant Pot first using the “Sauté” function before adding cabbage.
• Extra veggies: Carrots, bell peppers, or potatoes can be added for a heartier dish.
• Leftovers: Cooked cabbage stores well in the fridge for 3–4 days.
