Black Folks Southern Cabbage Recipe

Step 1

Cut out the cabbage's core and coarsely chop the leaves using a food processor or knife. (I remove the outer layer of cabbage leaves first and discard them before chopping.)

Step 2

Add the shredded cabbage and all the ingredients (onion, chicken apple cider vinegar, butter, Old Bay or Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper) into the Instant Pot stainless steel inner pot.

Step 3

Sink the chopped cabbage as much as you can into the liquid broth.

Step 4

Close the Instant Pot lid (ensure the valve is up – in the position for sealing) and pressure cook on high for 4 minutes.

Step 5

When cooking is finished, allow a natural pressure release for at least 4 minutes.

Step 6

To open the Instant Pot lid, move the valve to ‘venting’ and manually release any remaining pressure, if applicable.
