Instant Pot Cabbage Rolls

Step 1

Remove as many outer leaves from the cabbage.

Step 3

Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot and set the trivet inside. Stack the cabbage leaves on the trivet that comes with the pot and close the lid. Press the pressure cook button and set the time to 0 minutes. It will take about 6 for the pot to come to pressure. When done, do a manual release of the pressure and remove the cabbage leaves immediately.

Step 5

Combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, parmesan cheese, and rice in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Step 7

Divide the meat mixture evenly among the cabbage leaves. Place the meat mixture in the center of the cabbage roll. Fold the sides of the cabbage over the top of the meat and roll the cabbage tightly.

Step 9

Pour 1/3 cup of water into the pot and place the rolls directly into the water.

Step 11

Combine the tomato sauce with the thyme, salt, red pepper, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the top of the rolls in the pot.

Step 13

Pressure cook on high for 7 minutes. When the time is up, let sit for 5 minutes to naturally release pressure, then do a quick release

Step 15

Remove the rolls from the pot and set them on a plate. Spoon the remaining sauce over the rolls
