JAMAICAN CABBAGE IN THE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Cut out the cabbage's core and use a knife to shred the cabbage leaves. Alternatively, use a food processor to shred the cabbage quickly. (I also remove the outer layer of cabbage leaves and discard them before chopping.)
• Add the shredded cabbage and carrot and all ingredients (chicken broth, butter, salt, pepper, Old Bay, onion, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, carrot, and thyme) into the Instant Pot stainless steel inner pot.
• Sink the cabbage and vegetables as much as you can into the liquid broth.
• Close the Instant Pot lid (make sure the valve is up - in the position for sealing) and pressure cook on high for 4 minutes.
• When the cooking time is finished, allow a natural pressure release for at least 4 minutes.
• To open the Instant Pot lid, move the valve to 'venting' and manually release any remaining pressure, if applicable.
• Serve Jamaican cabbage warm and enjoy!
