Step 1

First discard the tough outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters and remove the hard stalk.

Step 2

Next shred the rest of the cabbage using a sharp knife, or you can add large wedges to your food processor and use the slicing blade to shred it.

Step 3

In your Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker add the water and wine vinegar to the inner pot.

Step 4

Then layer first some of the cabbage, season with a little salt and pepper, then add a little of the apple, onion, spices, garlic, sugar, and then layer again with more cabbage and continue until you've added all the ingredients. If you are following the paleo diet you can omit the sugar and add honey after it's cooked.

Step 5

Lock the lid, turn the steam vent to 'sealing' and using the manual setting, adjust it to cook for 5 minutes at High Pressure.

Step 6

When the cook time time is up you can immediately open the steam vent (turn it to 'venting'), when all the pressure is released and the pressure valve has dropped you can then open the lid and stir the cabbage mixture well. If you are following the paleo diet and have omitted the sugar then you can add the honey at this point and stir it in while the cabbage is hot.

Step 7

Add in a little butter or dairy free margarine if desired, serve hot.
