Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 head cabbage
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (or olive oil)
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (or dill)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut the cabbage into 4 quarters. Cut away the core attached to the bottom of each quarter.
- Slice each quarter crosswise into pieces that are 1-inch wide.
- Press the Saute button to heat the Instant Pot. Add the butter to melt.
- Add the garlic. Saute the butter and garlic just long enough to melt the butter and lightly brown the garlic (less than a minute)
- Add the water.
- Add the cabbage. A whole head will fill up ¾ of the pot.
- Lock the lid in place. Make sure the steam release valve is in the sealed position.
- Press Manual/Pressure Cook and cook for 2 minutes on high pressure. This will make cabbage that is very tender but still has a slight firmness that you can stick a fork into. If you like really soft cabbage, then bump the cooking time up to 3 minutes on high pressure.
- Quick release the pressure by immediately turning the release valve to venting when the cooking time is done.
- Stir the cabbage well to cover all the leaves in the flavorful garlic broth at the bottom.
- Stir in parsley and lemon. Add salt to taste
