INSTANT POT KALE RECIPE

Steps:

• Sort the kale in a large colander or bowl. You don't need to wash the kale thoroughly, you're mostly picking out the thick stems and any pieces that don't look fresh.
• Set the Instant Pot to Saute Low, add the olive oil and the garlic.
• Toss the kale into the pot as you sort it. Saute for one to two minutes, just enough to shrink the kale to fit into the pot and give it a little extra flavor.
• Add the liquid and pepper, seal the lid and set the pot to pressure cook for 4-6 minutes. If you like kale al dente, cook it for four minutes. If you like it very tender, cook it longer. I like mine soft, at the expense of a little color and volume.
• Once it's done, do a quick release to stop the veggie from overcooking as the pressure drops.
• If you want, now is the time to add a little more salt and pepper, vinegar, lemon juice, bacon, or even some grated Parmesan cheese.

PRESSURE COOKER KALE GREENS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Stir in turkey bacon, onion, celery, and red pepper flakes; cook until turkey bacon is browned and onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Add kale gradually; cook and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, bouillon cubes, sugar, and pepper.
• Cover pressure cooker with lid and cook kale according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and release pressure through natural release method. Open the pressure cooker carefully; stir in salt and hot pepper sauce.
