Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 79kcal
Ingredients
- 1 head of green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons bacon fat substitute duck fat or butter
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme a couple sprigs
Instructions
- Cut the cabbage into 8 pieces and remove the core.
- Place the cabbage in the Instant Pot insert and add the remaining ingredients, sprinkling the salt and pepper over the top. (You can melt the bacon grease to pour over the cabbage, which makes it easier to evenly coat it).
- Close the lid, seal the valve and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.
- Naturally release the pressure for 5 minutes, then use the quick release.
- Serve with a side of Dijon mustard. Add additional salt to taste.
Notes
- Whatever type of fat you use, you can melt it and pour over the cabbage for more even coverage.
- If you like your cabbage on the firmer side, you should quick release the pressure from the Instant Pot and skip the natural release.
- Make sure to cut the cabbage into roughly equal pieces so it cooks evenly.
- While the cook time is just 5 minutes in the Instant Pot, you’ll also need to factor in time for pressure to build and release in the Instant Pot.
- For added crunch, reduce the cook time to 3 minutes. For softer cabbage, increase the cook time to 7 minutes.
