Servings: 5
Equipment
- 6-quart Electric Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 13 ounces Polska Kielbasa Smoked Sausage (I use Turkey)
- 1 Sweet Onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Caraway Seeds
- ½ teaspoon Coarse Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic
- ¾ cup Vegetable Broth
- 1 medium head Green Cabbage
Instructions
- Gather all of the ingredients together.Chop the whole head of cabbage into 2-inch bite-sized pieces. Cut the kielbasa sausage into ½-inch rounds. Chop the onion into 1-inch pieces.
- Turn on the Sauté setting. When the pot is hot, add the butter and the sausage pieces in a layer, if possible.
- Brown the sausage on both sides, just enough to get some color, as kielbasa is a cooked smoked sausage.
- Add the chopped onion and stir well. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften.
- Add in the garlic using a garlic press (or use minced garlic) and stir well. Cook, stirring, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Add a splash of the broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits off of the bottom of the Instant Pot (deglazing the bottom of the pot).
- Pour in the remaining broth and stir.
- Turn off the Sauté setting and then add the cabbage and stir.
- Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position, if not self-sealing.
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 3 minutes (5 minutes for softer cabbage). High Pressure. The pot will take a couple of minutes or so to come to pressure.
- When the cook time has finished, immediately turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to Quick Release the steam/pressure. When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid.
- Stir the contents of the pot and dish up the cabbage and sausage using a slotted spoon. There will be liquid left in the pot (it's very tasty!).
- Serve hot.
